This study performs pan-GWAS across four Aspergillus species to show that pathogenicity involves rare genome expansion while industrial strains show rare genome contraction.

The paper uses pangenome analysis of Escherichia coli to reveal the genetic basis of metabolic reactions and their evolutionary dynamics.

The paper reconstructs pangenomes of Lactobacillaceae to generate metabolic models for 26 species, enabling species-specific metabolic trait predictions.

The paper analyzes the pangenome of Escherichia coli using 2,377 genomes to define accessory genes and rare genomic variation across phylogroups.

The paper analyzes the alleleome of the Lactobacillaceae family's core pangenome to understand strain diversity and identify phylogroup-specific variants.

This study performs a pangenome analysis of the Lactobacillaceae family, revealing correlations between pangenome openness, transposon abundance, and species-specific genomic features.
