Contraction and expansion dynamics: deciphering genomic underpinnings of growth rate and pathogenicity in Mycobacterium

BackgroundMycobacterium bacteria, encompassing both slow growth (SGM) and rapid growth mycobacteria (RGM), along with true pathogenic (TP), opportunistic pathogenic (OP), and non-pathogenic (NP) types, exhibit diverse phenotypes. Yet, the genetic underpinnings of these variations remain elusive.Meth...
