A summary diagram depicting the overall relationships among the major groups of mycobacterial species. The numbers of identified CSIs and CSPs, which are specific for different clades are marked on the nodes. The names of the five main clades of mycobacterial species identified in this work, viz. “Tuberculosis-Simiae,” “Terrae,” “Triviale,” “Fortuitum-Vaccae,” and “Abscessus-Chelonae”, along with their proposed or emended names and the species which are part of these clades are marked. Species which have had their genomes analyzed in this study are bolded. The superscript letter T beside a species indicates that it is the type species of the genus. The placements of other mycobacterial species, whose genomes have not been sequenced into these clades are based on their branching in the 16S rRNA tree (Supplmentary Figure 2). The species whose names are not italicized and are placed within quotation marks have not yet been validly published.
