An optimized, multiplexed multi-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis system for genotyping Francisella tularensis.
We present a truncated, optimized, multiplexed multiple-locus variable-number tandem repeat analysis system for the molecular subtyping of Francisella tularensis that reduces time and cost requirements while retaining high discriminatory power.
