2 Figure 1 The binary results of spoligotyping. Spoligotyping has also been used to define subspecies-specific signatures within the various members of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex. Some of these specific signatures are illustrated in the figure; e.g., M. bovis shows a characteristic absence of spacers 39 to 43, whereas the recently described M. bovis subsp. caprae shows the absence of spacers 1-16.

3 Figure 2 A schematic picture of the gene sequences replicated using DRE-PCR. Variability of inter IS6110-PGRS yields different sizes of PCR-products, as illustrated by gel electrophoresis [42].
