title: 299MO
design: Mycobacterium tuberculosis of the Beijing Modern Sublineage displays increased virulence when26 compared to strains of the Ancient Sublineage. Here, we report the full genome of strains of the27 two sublineages isolated from tuberculosis patients from Brazil, Mozambique and Russia. The DNA was58 extracted using the Charge Switch gDNA bacteria DNA Mini Kit (Invitrogen) and59 paired-end library prepared using the Nextera XT DNA library kit, followed by 2100-bp60 sequencing on an Illumina HiSeq2500 at the High Throughput Sequencing Platform of the61 Oswaldo Cruz Institute (Fiocruz, RJ).
