TL;DR: The complete genome sequence of the best-characterized strain of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, H37Rv, has been determined and analysed in order to improve the understanding of the biology of this slow-growing pathogen and to help the conception of new prophylactic and therapeutic interventions.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: Comparing the 3.27-megabase genome sequence of an armadillo-derived Indian isolate of the leprosy bacillus with that of Mycobacterium tuberculosis provides clear explanations for these properties and reveals an extreme case of reductive evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new evolutionary scenario for the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex
Roland Brosch,Stephen V. Gordon,M. Marmiesse,Priscille Brodin,Carmen Buchrieser,Karin Eiglmeier,Thierry Garnier,C. Gutierrez,Glyn Hewinson,Kristin Kremer,Linda M. Parsons,Alexander S. Pym,Sofía Samper,D. van Soolingen,Stewart T. Cole +14 more
TL;DR: The distribution of 20 variable regions resulting from insertion-deletion events in the genomes of the tubercle bacilli has been evaluated and contradict the often-presented hypothesis that M. tuberculosis, the etiological agent of human tuberculosis evolved from M. bovis, the agent of bovine disease.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A draft sequence of the genome of Aedes aegypti, the primary vector for yellow fever and dengue fever, which at approximately 1376 million base pairs is about 5 times the size of the genomes of the malaria vector Anopheles gambiae was presented in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
The complete genome sequence of Mycobacterium bovis
Thierry Garnier,Karin Eiglmeier,Jean-Christophe Camus,Nadine Medina,Huma Mansoor,Melinda J.

TL;DR: The genome sequence offers major insight on the evolution, host preference, and pathobiology of M. bovis, implying that differential gene expression may be the key to the host tropisms of human and bovine bacilli.
