Pangenomes exhibit remarkable variability in many prokaryotic species, much of which is maintained through the processes of horizontal gene transfer and gene loss. Repeated acquisitions of near-identical homologs can easily be observed across pangeno... Read More about Contingency, repeatability, and predictability in the evolution of a prokaryotic pangenome.
