Complete genomes reveal the full extent of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex diversity across evolutionary scales

The paper uses long-read sequencing to generate complete genomes of Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex isolates, revealing increased genomic diversity and improved resolution in transmission analysis.

Genetic diversity within diagnostic sputum samples is mirrored in the culture of Mycobacterium tuberculosis

This study shows that culturing Mycobacterium tuberculosis from sputum samples accurately mirrors the genetic diversity found in the original clinical samples, with high variant agreement and correlation.

Genomic analysis of Mycobacterium brumae sustains its nonpathogenic and immunogenic phenotype

This study presents the genome of M. brumae and shows its nonpathogenic and immunogenic traits through genomic analysis.

Unravelling the population structure and transmission patterns of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in Mozambique, a high TB/HIV burden country

The paper uses whole-genome sequencing to analyze Mycobacterium tuberculosis population structure and transmission patterns in Mozambique, finding recent transmission and endemic clades linked to HIV/TB coinfected patients.

An evolutionary functional genomics approach identifies novel candidate regions involved in isoniazid resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis

The paper identifies novel candidate genes for isoniazid resistance in Mycobacterium tuberculosis using evolutionary functional genomics and phylogenetic analysis of clinical strain genomes.
