structure but included the maximum likelihood-inferred ancestral nucleotide positions from a virtual ancestor 11 , by using the Burrows-Wheeler Aligner. SNP calls were made with SAMtools and VarScan (coverage of at least 20×). We kept only the homozygous calls (present in at least 90% of the reads in a specific position) and filtered out potential calling errors by omitting variants detected in repetitive regions, phages, PE/PPE regions, and SNPs close to indels (10 bp window) or in areas with an anomalous accumulation of variants (three or more SNPs in 10 bp). Alignments and SNP variants were visualized and checked with the IGV program. Multiple comparisons between the SNPs from the clustered isolates were made using an in-house script written in R software (R Foundation for Statistical Computing, Vienna, Austria 2011, www.R-project.org). The median-joining networks were constructed from the SNP matrix generated using NETWORK 5.0.0.1. Median vectors (mv) were defined when the distribution of SNPs indicated the existence of a non-sequenced node corresponding to non-sampled genotype in the cluster. The chronology of acquisition of the SNPs is represented from left to right in the networks.
HIV infection is still a serious medical problem in CF. Although imprisonment can provide access to health programs, HIV-infected prison patients suffer more frequently from tuberculosis and take less antiretroviral treatment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
