Genomic variant identification methods alter <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> transmission inference

2019-08-24

Abstract excerpt

Pathogen genomic data are increasingly used to characterize global and local transmission patterns of important human pathogens and to inform public health interventions. Yet there is no current consensus on how to measure genomic variation. We investigated the effects of variant identification approaches on transmission inferences for M. tuberculosis by comparing variants identified by five different groups in t...
