Abstract excerpt
The risk and prognosis of tuberculosis (TB) are influenced by a complex interplay between human and bacterial genetic factors. While previous genomic studies have largely examined human and bacterial genomes separately, we adopted an integrated approach to uncover host-pathogen interactions. We leveraged paired human and Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M.tb) genomic data from 1000 adult TB patients from Tanzania and...
