Predicted core- and pan-genome sizes for T. forsythia based on ten genome assemblies using a sampling approach that iteratively adds genomes to the analysis. The species’ core genome has a saturated size of 1900 genes, i.e. genes that are found to be conserved throughout the ten analysed strains are likely to be conserved throughout the whole species (left panel). In contrast, novel genes are expected to be found in newly sequenced T. forsythia genomes as indicated by the pan-genome curve that has not yet reached a saturation plateau (right panel)
