Table 2 MAMA assays used to detect the CDC 684 chromosomal inversion

From: An attenuated strain of Bacillus anthracis (CDC 684) has a large chromosomal inversion and altered growth kinetics

Left Inversion Primers

Polymorphism

Assay Targets

CP Left-inv-F + Right-inv-F

A

CDC 684

CP Left-inv-F + Left-inv-R

G

All other B. anthracis

Right Inversion Primers

Polymorphism

Assay Targets

Left-inv-R + CP Right-inv-R

G

CDC 684

Right-inv-F + CP Right-inv-R

A

All other B. anthracis

  1. Where CP = Common Primer; inv = Inversion; F = Forward; R = reverse
