FIG. 1
Distribution of IS6110 insertion loci relative to open reading frames (ORFs) of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv genome. The ORF numbers of the disrupted genes are indicated in bold, while the intergenic insertions are represented by two ORF numbers separated by a colon. The M. tuberculosis H37Rv insertion sites are underlined. Multiple integration sites within a single gene or intergenic region are denoted by multiple entries with the same name. The relative positions of the DR region and the ipl locus are shown, and the positions of regions deleted from M. tuberculosis H37Rv relative to M. bovis are indicated by their RvD numbers.
