have been released far in advance of publication and can be accessed by TB researchers worldwide, helping to spark work on an infectious disease that constitutes a leading threat to global public health. In the next phase of their work, the scientists plan to refine the draft genome sequences and their comparative analysis, and expand the scope of their research to include additional TB strains.

Data access

These data can be accessed through the Broad Institute website, at www.broad.mit.edu/XDR_TB or through the TB database, www.tbdb.org
