The compositions of the pseudogenes in Sendai, Paratyphi A, Typhi and Miami. a Schematic illustration of the different causes of pseudogenes shared between Salmonella serovars. The shared pseudogenes with different inactivation mutations are attributed to convergent evolution. Pseudogenes carrying the same inactivation mutations can further be attributed to two causes: 1) the ‘ancestral pseudogenization’ explains the strains that are phylogenetically clustered together and carry the same pseudogenes; and 2) the ‘recombinant pseudogenization’ explains the strains that are phylogenetically separated but carry the same pseudogenes. b The number of specific and shared pseudogenes between Sendai, Paratyphi A, Typhi, and Miami. The shared pseudogenes were further divided into other two groups, with ‘Same’ and ‘Diff’ representing the same and different inactivation mutations. SPA: S. Paratyphi A
