The availability of multiple sequenced genomes from a single species made it possible to
explore intra-and inter-specific genomic comparisons at higher resolution and build clade …

Bacterial genomes differ in both gene content and sequence mutations, which underlie
extensive phenotypic diversity, including variation in susceptibility to antimicrobials or …

Pangenomes are replacing single reference genomes as the definitive representation of
DNA sequence within a species or clade. Pangenome analysis predominantly leverages …

Pangenomics is a relatively new scientific field which investigates the union of all the
genomes of a clade. The word pan means everything in ancient Greek; the term …

Newly sequenced genomes are being added to the tree of life at an unprecedented fast
pace. A large proportion of such new genomes are phylogenetically close to previously …

Fungal pathogens exhibit extensive strain heterogeneity, including variation in virulence.
Whether closely related non-pathogenic species also exhibit strain heterogeneity remains …
