Different evolutionary trends form the twilight zone of the bacterial pan-genome
2021-02-15
Abstract excerpt
The pan-genome is defined as the combined set of all genes in the gene pool of a species. Pan-genome analyses have been very useful in helping to understand different evolutionary dynamics of bacterial species: an open pan-genome often indicates a free-living lifestyle with metabolic versatility, while closed pan-genomes are linked to host-restricted, ecologically specialised bacteria. A detailed understanding of...
