Разработка методического подхода к генетическому типированию штаммов сибиреязвенного микроба
Диссертация
При сравнительном анализе дендрограмм, построенных на основе MLVA (8-ми локусный анализ Р. Keim et al., 2000 и вариабельных хромос-моных областей Ceb-Bams Р. Le Fleche et al., 2001), видно, что система гено-типирования более точно отражает реально существующие связи. Дендро-грамма, построенная на основании локусов Ceb-Bams имеет практически то же строение, что и дендрограмма, построенная… Читать ещё >
