Extended Data Fig. 3

Expression level (FPKM, Fragments Per Kilobase of transcript per Million mapped reads) of core, shell and cloud genes were measured in six samples. Core genes consistently showed a higher expression level compared to shell and cloud genes across six genomes (p-value<2.2e-16, Wilcoxon signed rank, two-sided). Sample size in the six genomes, 353: core, n = 22,522; shell, n = 13,873; cloud, n = 78, IS3614-3: core, n = 20,786; shell, n = 12,648; cloud, n = 12, IS8525: core, n = 21,223; shell, n = 13,365; cloud, n = 12, IS929: core, n = 21,702; shell, n = 12,860; cloud, n = 35, Ji2731: core, n = 22,251; shell, n = 13,874; cloud, n = 57, PI525695: core, n = 20,445; shell, n = 11,372; cloud, n = 35. In the box plots, center lines represent the median, the bottom and top of boxes represent the first and third percentiles, whiskers show the data that lie within the 1.5 interquartile range of the first and third quartiles.
