Deletion Screen of CDC1551 Shows that TSTEP/Deletion Assembly Finds All Deletions >350 bp in Nonrepetitive Regions, with No False Deletion Cells

H37Rv regions of at least 300 bp with no identical match in CDC1551 (to the nearest 60 bp) Repetitive sequence family in probe set annotation Similarity with any region by blast to CDC1551 (%) Edges detectable by blast to CDC1551 (corresponding address in H37Rv is given) Deletion in nonrepetitive region, with detectable edges >350 bp Complete TSTEP/deletion assembly results for screen of CDC1551

[i] (TSTEP) Tandem Set Terminal Extreme Probability.

[ii] More than one region with 60% or more identity is found in this interval. A weighted average is reported.

[iii] There are only three probe pairs querying the 245-bp interval. A weak signal of P value <0.01 is measured for these probe pairs.

[iv] PPE locus at 2381069–2382490.

[v] PPE loci at 3842235–3842765 and 3843032–3843730.
