Journal Article
Whelan, F. J., Hall, R. J., & McInerney, J. O. (2021). Evidence for Selection in the Abundant Accessory Gene Content of a Prokaryote Pangenome. Molecular Biology and Evolution, 38(9), 3697-3708. https://doi.org/10.1093/molbev/msab139

A pangenome is the complete set of genes (core and accessory) present in a phylogenetic clade. We hypothesize that a pangenome's accessory gene content is structured and maintained by selection. To test this hypothesis, we interrogated the genomes of... Read More about Evidence for Selection in the Abundant Accessory Gene Content of a Prokaryote Pangenome.
