Heat-map of the shared accessory genes between strains. The plot is ordered by the phylogeny based on the SNPs within the core genome (rows). While the columns are ordered based on the similarity in the presence and absence pattern of accessory genes between isolates, which is represented by a dendrogram along the top of the heat-map. A clear separation can be seen between the clades, and it appears that both the phylogeny and the dendrogram split the population into the two clades, suggesting little recombination occurs between the two clades, but there is recombination within them both.
