The Core and Pan-Genome of the Vibrionaceae

摘要

Species of the family Vibrionaceae are ubiquitous in marine environments and the family contains numerous important pathogens of humans and marine species. In order to find the core, accessory and pan-proteome of this family, we deduced the complete set of orthologs for eleven strains from this family. The core proteome consists of 1,882 groups of orthologs, which is 28% of the 6,629 orthologous groups in this family. The composition of the proteomes are reflective of the differing evolutionary trajectories followed by different strains to similar phenotypes.
