Emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) or extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strains has made it critical to detect and track new mutations. A procedure for full length analysis of TB genes associated with first and second-line drug resistance was developed using the novel next-generation Ion Torrent Personal Genome Machine (PGM). Raw FASTQ files from the Ion Torrent pipeline can be easily managed, assembled and analyzed by the average researcher using the DNAStar Lasergene® software suite.
