Variable numbers of tandem repeat (VNTR) loci and spoligotypes are molecular markers used to study genetic diversity of bacteria such as Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Knowledge about the rate at which molecular fingerprints change, or the mutation rate, is important for interpreting molecular epidemio
