Abstract
► We examined the evolutionary rates of the Mycobacterium tuberculosis genomes. ► Substitution and insertion/deletion rates vary significantly across the genomes. ► Many M. tuberculosis genes have dS deviate significantly from neutral rate (di). ► dN/di should be used instead of dN/dS for measuring selection pressure.
