Our paper on the pangenome of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex is now out in its final form (version of record) in eLife! elifesciences.org/articles/97870
The Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex pangenome is small and shaped by sub-lineage-specific regions of difference
The accessory genome of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is small, but differences in gene content are found both between and within lineages.

PhD studentship available.

The project is VERY interdisciplinary, combing social science, biophysics and microbiology to understand inequalities of UTIs treatment and replicate them in vitro to help choose the correct antibiotic.

Pls share, home students only #AMR #MicroSky

Does choosing one antibiotic impact how resistance to another evolves? Short answer is yes!
