Abstract excerpt
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) has co-evolved with humans for thousands of years and is characterized by variation in virulence, transmissibility, and disease phenotypes. To identify bacterial contributors to phenotypic diversity, we developed new RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) and phylogenomic tools to capture hundreds of Mtb isolate transcriptomes, link transcriptional and genetic variation, and find associations...
