Pairwise identity and indels in the mclx genes in a panel of 150 Mtb complex strains/clinical isolates1.

1The pairwise identity refers to the % of conserved residues of each gene after aligning it with its orthologue from the reference strain M. tuberculosis H37Rv; the putative pseudogenes are highlighted in bold; indel ocurrences are described by their type (ins, insertion; del, deletion) and by their location (considering an alignment with the reference mclx genes from the Mtb H37Rv strain), except when the total number of isolated occurences exceeds 3, in which case only their frequency is indicated; Maf, Mycobacterium africanum; Mvb, Mycobacterium bovis; Mcn, Mycobacterium cannetti; Mtb, Mycobacterium tuberculosis; WA-2, West-African 2; EAm, Euro-American lineage; EAs, East-Asian lineage; IO, Indo-Oceanic; EAI, East-African Indian lineage*, indicates that the information on the lineage was obtained by aligning the H37Rv RD with the genome/scaffolds of the respective organism.Pairwise identity and indels in the mclx genes in a panel of 150 Mtb complex strains/clinical isolates1.
