a
MIRU, mycobacterial interspersed repetitive unit. The VNTR-8 set included eight loci and the VNTR-24 set included 24 loci. The HGI column shows the index for each locus, while the summary HGI values at the bottom of the table reflect the discriminatory power the MIRU-VNTR group collectively. VNTR-8 loci were identified from references 4, 13, and 15; VNTR-24 loci were identified from reference 6.
