Microsatellite polymorphism across the <it>M. tuberculosis </it>and <it>M. bovis </it>genomes: Implications on genome evolution and plasticity
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Microsatellites are the tandem repeats of nucleotide motifs of size 1–6 bp observed in all known genomes. These repeats show length polymorphism characterized by either insertion or deletion (indels) of the repeat units, which in and...
