High throughput method for analysis of repeat number for 28 phase variable loci of C. jejuni strain NCTC11168

Mutations in simple sequence repeat tracts are a major mechanism of phase variation in several bacterial species including Campylobacter jejuni. Changes in repeat number of tracts located within the reading frame can produce a high frequency of reversible switches in gene expression between ON and O...
