Abstract excerpt
Background. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) genomic epidemiology often relies on culturing patient sputum, a time- and labour-intensive process. Hybrid capture approaches have been successfully used to enrich Mtb DNA from complex clinical samples, yet the accuracy of variant identification from captured samples has not been systematically evaluated.Methods. We created artificial strain mixtures of two...
