THE PAN-GENOME OF MYCOBACTERIUM AVIUM SUBSP. PARATUBERCULOSIS (MAP) CONFIRMS ANCESTRAL LINEAGE AND REVEALS GENE REARRANGEMENTS WITHIN MAP TYPE S

The pan-genome of Mycobacterium avium subsp. paratuberculosis (Map) confirms ancestral lineage and reveals gene rearrangements within Map Type S

Abstract Background To date genomic studies on Map have concentrated on Type C strains with only a few Type S strains included for comparison.In this study the entire pan-genome of 261 Map genomes (205 Type C, 52 Type S and 4 Type B) and 7 Mycobacterium avium complex (Mac) genomes were analysed to identify genomic similarities and differences betwe
