Supplementary Fig. B. Alignment of the ITS1 regions of M. saskatchewanense sp. nov. and select mycobacteria. Nucleotides that differ from M. tuberculosis are shown. Dashes represent deletions. The length (in nt) of the ITS1 fragment from position 1 is indicated. Sequences were determined in our laboratory unless indicated by a GenBank accession number. [PDF] (1911 KB)
