title: Large sequence polymorphisms classify Mycobacterium tuberculosis strains with ancestral spoligotyping patterns.
abstract: Genomic deletion analysis revealed that strains of Mycobacterium tuberculosis exhibiting spoligotyping patterns with almost all spacers present belong either to a strain lineage that includes the W-Beijing strain family or to the ancestral strain lineage of M. tuberculosis.
