Fig. 3: Rarefaction curves for the core and pangenome of the pBT2436-like megaplasmid family.

Graphs show the estimated size of the core (left) and pangenome (right) of the pBT2436-like group. Plotted data come from sampling experiments with ten random-seeded replicas from the BDBH-¹⁶ (core) or OMLC-based⁶⁷ (pan) protein clustering. Fitted curves follow the Tettelin function⁶⁸.
