A complete high quality nanopore-only assembly of an XDR <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> Beijing lineage strain identifies novel variation in repetitive PE/PPE gene regions

2018-01-30

Abstract excerpt

A better understanding of the genomic changes that facilitate the emergence and spread of drug resistant M. tuberculosis strains is required. Short-read sequencing methods have limited capacity to identify long, repetitive genomic regions and gene duplications. We sequenced an extensively drug resistant (XDR) Beijing sub-lineage 2.2.1.1 “epidemic strain” from the Western Province of Papua New Guinea using long-re...
