Genomic determinants of speciation and spread of the <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> complex

2018-05-04

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> <h4>BACKGROUND</h4> Models on how bacterial lineages differentiate increase our understanding on early bacterial speciation events and about the genetic loci involved. Here, we analyze the population genomics events leading to the emergence of the tuberculosis pathogen. <h4>RESULTS</h4> The emergence is characterized by a combination of recombination events involving core pathogenesis function...
