Supplementary Figure 1: Association between Mtb genetic distance and spatial proximity of patients.

From: Frequent transmission of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis Beijing lineage and positive selection for the EsxW Beijing variant in Vietnam

Supplementary Figure 1

For all pairs of Mtb isolates, the probability of both originating from patients living in the same district was calculated (y-axis) and stratified according to genetic distance between the Mtb genomes (expressed in number of SNPs, x-axis). P-values indicate result of testing for difference in proportions of isolate pairs originating from same district, for isolate pairs with SNP distance <10 vs >20, calculated separately for Beijing and non-Beijing isolates. (Note it was not possible to further stratify non-Beijing pairs into L1 pairs vs L4 pairs for statistical tests, due to low sample size.).
