Additional file 9: of Genomic divergence and cohesion in a species of pelagic freshwater bacteria

Homologous genes among the 20 PnecC genomes. The genome with the highest number of genes (MWH-RechtKol4) was used as a reference. For each of the 2362 protein coding genes of MWH-RechtKol4, the presence/absence of a homologous gene in each of the 19 other genomes was determined by applying an amino acid identity threshold of 70%. The number of reference genes for which a homolog is found in the respective query genome is given in the second row. It should be noted that these numbers can be slightly higher than the actual number of homologous genes in the query, as certain query genes may be counted twice when compared to paralogs of the reference. When considering each gene only once, 1820 P. asymbioticus core genes have been identified, which are highlighted in the first column. (XLSX 245 kb)
