Proportion of 100-kb Windows with No Recombination Events: Observed and Simulated, Randomly Placed Fragments

Species	Observed (Mean)^a	Simulated (Mean)^b	P Value^c
Mycobacterium smegmatis	0.93	0.90	<0.001
Mycobacterium canettii	0.31	0.25	<0.001
Streptococcus pneumoniae	0.75	0.73	<0.001
Staphylococcus aureus	0.86	0.83	<0.001
Enterococcus faecium	0.54	0.42	<0.001

^aMean proportion of windows with no recombination events across strains.

^bRecombinant fragments equal in size and number to observed data were randomly distributed across the genome and proportion of windows with no recombination events was calculated. These simulations were repeated 1,000 times.

^cA P value was calculated by comparing the observed proportion of windows with no recombination to the distribution of simulations (P = proportion of simulated distribution ≥ observed). Significant P values are given in italics.
