Abstract

In order to develop a technique for distinguishing between isolates of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, we cloned two hypervariable DNA fragments from NdeII-digested genomic DNA. The cloned DNA fragments of 3.8 and 4.7 kb were found to contain the same repetitive element, which was different from previou...
