Table 1. Breakdown of the number of genomes by genus used to generate single genome simulated datasets.

N indicates the number of genomes (406 total), and Genome Size is presented as the median and range (minimum to maximum). Species indicates the number of different species for each genus included in the baseline assessment.

Genus	N	Species	Genome size (Mb)
Bacillus	76	19	5.05 (3.07–7.59)
Clostridium	32	15	4.02 (2.55–6.67)
Escherichia	62	1	5.11 (3.98–5.86)
Francisella	18	4	1.89 (1.85–2.05)
Listeria	39	5	2.97 (2.78–3.11)
Pseudomonas	57	21	6.18 (4.17–7.01)
Salmonella	44	2	4.88 (4.46–5.27)
Shigella	10	4	4.74 (4.48–5.22)
Staphylococcus	49	2	2.82 (2.69–3.08)
Yersinia	19	3	4.73 (4.62–4.94)
