• High Functional Diversity in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Driven by Genetic Drift and Human Demography (2008, methodology): “The distribution of the six main human-adapted MTBC lineages we observe today is shown (colors correspond to Figures 1 and S2; based on data from [ 19 ,21]).”
• The immune response in tuberculosis. (2013, background): “tuberculosis bacilli have evolved primarily by deletion and duplication events, and the consequence is a strongly clonal pattern of evolution with the emergence of separate clonal lineages of strains (23).”
• Human T cell epitopes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis are evolutionarily hyperconserved (2010, neutral): “Using single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) 3 - 6 or large sequence polymorphisms (LSPs) 7 - 9 as genetic markers resulted in congruent groupings of human-adapted MTBC into six major lineages and consistent geographical associations for each of these lineages 10 .”
• MIRU-VNTRplus: a web tool for polyphasic genotyping of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex bacteria (2010, background): “Furthermore, the following typing data are supported: presence or absence of 43 spoligotyping spacers, presence or absence of 15 standard LSPs (6,7), values of six SNPs (20) and susceptibility data for 16 drugs.”
