Genetic diversity in the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex based on variable numbers of tandem DNA repeats.

Microbiology (Reading, England) - 1 May 1998

Frothingham Richard, Meeker-O'Connell Winifred A

Abstract excerpt

Genetic loci containing variable numbers of tandem repeats (VNTR loci) form the basis for human gene mapping and identification, forensic analysis and paternity testing. The variability of bacterial tandem repeats has not been systematically studied. Eleven tandem repeat loci in the M. tuberculosis genome were analysed. Five major polymorphic tandem repeat (MPTR) loci contained 15-bp repeats with substantial...
