Figure 5. Staphylococcus aureus SNP distance from reference S. aureus N315.

For each genome, the number of SNPs found by mapping reads to the N315 reference using GATK (McKenna et al., 2010) was plotted, with genomes ordered from least to most SNPs. A total of 240 genomes with >55,000 SNPs (dotted line) that had best matches to S. argenteus using mash (Ondov et al., 2016) were indicated by silver bars, the rest were S. aureus (gold).
