Figure 1

Schematic illustration of the core genome construction procedure. (A) A "core genome alignment" is defined as the order of pre-identified conserved OGs (vertical lines) which retains to the greatest possible extent the conserved neighborhood relationships on the chromosomes (horizontal lines). (B) A neighborhood graph of (A), where a node (square) represents an OG, and an edge (line) represents a neighborhood relationship between OGs. Here, for simplicity, only OGs that are directly adjacent to each other are connected, but, actually, the CoreAligner procedure connects all pairs of OGs that are within MAX_GAP genes of each other in at least a given ratio (NBR_CONS_RATIO) of the total number of genomes.
