Phase variation as a major mechanism of adaptation in <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> complex

2022-06-10

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Phase variation induced by insertions and deletions (INDELs) in genomic homopolymeric tracts (HT) can silence and regulate genes in pathogenic bacteria but this process is not characterized in MTBC adaptation. We leverage 31,428 diverse clinical isolates to identify genomic regions including phase-variants under positive selection. Of 87,651 INDEL events that emerge repeatedly across the phyloge...
