Fig. 2: Partition of essential meningococcal genes into persistent, shell and cloud genomes.

To perform this analysis, we used the PPanGGOLiN21 method as explained in the text. a Partition of the 2060 genes in the genome of N. meningitidis 8013: persistent (not highlighted), shell (highlighted in grey), and cloud (highlighted in black). The corresponding datasets are listed in Supplementary Data 5. b Partition of the subset of 391 essential genes identified in this study (same colour code than in a). The corresponding datasets are listed in Supplementary Data 5.
