Tuberculosis drug resistance mutation database.

TLDR
Sandgren et al. as mentioned in this paper described a new comprehensive resource on drug resistance mutations in M. tuberculosis, which they used to study drug-resistant mutations in drug-free tuberculosis.
Abstract

Molecular spandrels: tests of adaptation at the genetic level.

TL;DR: Experiments to test targets and agents of natural selection within a genomic context are necessary for identifying the adaptive consequences of individual alleles and may lead to incorrect conclusions about the relationships between gene function and fitness.
Journal ArticleDOI

The epidemiology, pathogenesis, transmission, diagnosis, and management of multidrug-resistant, extensively drug-resistant, and incurable tuberculosis

TL;DR: Several lines of evidence suggest that alternative mechanisms-including pharmacokinetic variability, induction of efflux pumps that transport the drug out of cells, and suboptimal drug penetration into tuberculosis lesions-are likely crucial to the pathogenesis of drug-resistant tuberculosis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drug tolerance in replicating mycobacteria mediated by a macrophage-induced efflux mechanism.

TL;DR: The existence of multidrug-tolerant organisms that arise within days of infection, are enriched in the replicating intracellular population, and are amplified and disseminated by the tuberculous granuloma are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biomarkers and diagnostics for tuberculosis: progress, needs, and translation into practice

TL;DR: Investments have yielded some progress in development of new diagnostics, although the existing pipeline is limited for tests for sputum-smear-negative cases, childhood tuberculosis, and accurate prediction of reactivation of latent tuberculosis.

Database resources of the National Center for Biotechnology Information

TL;DR: In addition to maintaining the GenBank(R) nucleic acid sequence database, the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) provides data analysis and retrieval resources for the data in GenBank and other biological data made available through NCBI’s website.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comprehensive analysis of protein–protein interactions in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

TL;DR: Examination of large-scale yeast two-hybrid screens reveals interactions that place functionally unclassified proteins in a biological context, interactions between proteins involved in the same biological function, and interactions that link biological functions together into larger cellular processes.

DIP, the Database of Interacting Proteins: a research tool for studying cellular networks of protein interactions

TL;DR: The Database of Interacting Proteins (DIP) is a database that documents experimentally determined protein-protein interactions and provides the scientific community with an integrated set of tools for browsing and extracting information about protein interaction networks.
