Abstract excerpt
Tuberculosis, a disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), is a significant health problem worldwide. Here, we developed a method to detect large insertions and deletions (indels), which have been generally understudied. Leveraging this framework, we performed a comprehensive analysis of single nucleotide variants and small and large indels across 1,960 Mtb clinical isolates. Comparing the distribution...
