Comparative genomics for extent of sequence variation between M. tuberculosis H37Rv and CDC1551. The data in this table provide an overview of the extent of sequence variation on a protein level between the orthologues of the PE and PPE families in the two M. tuberculosis strains, indicating that the "ancestral-type" PE and PPE genes are highly conserved between strains, while the PPE-MPTR and PE_PGRS subfamilies are prone to sequence variation.
