Abstract
Since the publication of the complete genome sequence of Mycobacterium tube rculosis in 1998, there has been a marked intensification and diversificati on of activities in the field of tuberculosis research. Among the areas tha t have advanced spectacularly are comparative genomics, functional genomics - notably the study of the transcriptome and proteome - and cell envelope biogenesis, especially as it relates to the mechanism of action of antimyco bacterial drugs.
