High-throughput nanopore sequencing of <i>Treponema pallidum</i> tandem repeat genes <i>arp</i> and <i>tp0470</i> reveals clade-specific patterns and recapitulates global whole genome phylogeny
2022-08-02
Abstract excerpt
Sequencing of most Treponema pallidum ( T. pallidum ) genomes excludes repeat regions in tp0470 and the tp0433 gene, encoding the acidic repeat protein ( arp ). As a first step to understanding the evolution and function of these genes and the proteins they encode, we developed a protocol to nanopore sequence tp0470 and arp genes from 212 clinical samples collected from ten countries on six continents. Both...
