Estimation of prokaryotic supergenome size and composition from gene frequency distributions

BACKGROUND: Because prokaryotic genomes experience a rapid flux of genes, selection may act at a higher level than an individual genome. We explore a quantitative model of the distributed genome whereby groups of genomes evolve by acquiring genes from a fixed reservoir which we denote as supergenome...
