Figure 2: Model describing the sizes of core and pangenome.
From: The pangenome of an agronomically important crop plant Brassica oleracea
Every genome added using (a) all genes and (b) orthologous gene clusters. Red points correspond to mean value. The pangenome size increases with each added line up to 61,379 genes (35,853 gene families), and extrapolation of pangenome size leads to a predicted pangenome of 63,865±31 genes (37,766±62 gene families). The size of the core genome diminishes with every added line to 49,895 genes (28,532 gene families) with a predicted core genome size of 49,740±164 genes (28,496±91 gene families). ±corresponds to s.e.
