Core genome conservation. For ten bacterial Mycoplasma genomes, assembled using using CLC, MIRA and ABySS and then either left as is (single-assemblies) or combined using GAA, GAM-NGS or MIX or; we determined how much a core genome defined over the whole genus of Mycoplasma is preserved for these ten genomes. The core genome is a set of 170 clusters of orthologous genes present in all strains. For each combination of species, single assemblies and merger, this figure report the distribution of the number of clusters of the core genome for which we can find at least a single gene present with 99% identity in the assembly.
