a

The probability (number of strains/number of total strains) of the appearance of MIRU-VNTR copy number (allele) in 79 PETRA lineage strains is shown. For each MIRU-VNTR locus, the probabilities add up to 1 total for the different copy numbers or alleles. The major alleles are indicated by boldface type, and the invariant alleles are shown in italic boldface type.
