The microbial pan-genome
1.2K
TL;DR: A decade after the beginning of the genomic era, the question of how genomics can describe a bacterial species has not been fully addressed and the pan-genome, which is composed of a "core genome" containing genes present in all strains, and a "dispensable genome", might be orders of magnitude larger than any single genome.

Pan-genome analysis of Mycobacterium africanum: insights to dynamics and evolution
TL;DR: A perspective to one of the hypotheses that M. africanum (MAF) might have emigrated out of West Africa but was outcompeted by more virulent strains of M. tuberculosis (MTB) is provided.
The Pangenome of <i>Pseudomonas aeruginosa</i>
13 Mar 2023
TL;DR: A review of the most important reports about Pseudomonas aeruginosa pangenome is presented in this paper , where it is concluded that this species has an open pangENome, and its accessory genome is larger than the central genome.

TL;DR: The genomic sequence of six strains representing the five major disease-causing serotypes of Streptococcus agalactiae, the main cause of neonatal infection in humans, was generated and Mathematical extrapolation of the data suggests that the gene reservoir available for inclusion in the S. agalactic pan-genome is vast and that unique genes will continue to be identified even after sequencing hundreds of genomes.
