  1. Y represents the pan-genome size while X represents the number of sequenced genomes (Pan-genome size = infinite when X → ∞). The negative value of exponent for X as shown in the formula indicates that lineage III has a closed pan-genome, meaning no new gene to be found when a new genome is sequenced
