The information content of species: formal definitions of pangenome complexity track with bacterial lifestyle

2025-04-02

Abstract excerpt

Genes and other genomic elements have variable presence absence patterns across most bacterial species. Pangenome fluidity is often invoked to measure this genome flux. Fluid pangenomes contain genes found only in subsets of species strains. Tighter pangenomes contain more genes that define a shared core. Species definitions are often tied to this pangenome diversity. In any global comparative framework, pangenome...
