Whole genome sequence data of Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycolicibacterium smegmatis mutants of the riboflavin biosynthetic pathway- Part 1

This dataset contains raw whole-genome sequencing data (FASTQ files) for
wild-type and riboflavin biosynthetic gene deletion mutants of
Mycobacterium tuberculosis and Mycolicibacterium smegmatis. These strains
were generated to investigate the source of metabolic antigens recognized
by mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, which detect intermediates
from the riboflavin biosynthetic pathway. To confirm successful gene
deletions and rule out off-target effects, whole-genome sequencing was
performed for each mutant and its corresponding wild-type strain. This
dataset supports the verification of targeted genetic modifications and
enables comparative genomic analyses related to MR1 antigen production in
mycobacteria.
