The molecular clock of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i>

2019-01-28

Abstract excerpt

The molecular clock and its phylogenetic applications to genomic data have changed how we study and understand one of the major human pathogens , Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), the causal agent of tuberculosis. Genome sequences of MTB strains sampled at different times are increasingly used to infer when a particular outbreak begun, when a drug resistant clone appeared and expanded, or when a strain was introd...
