Summary Introduction

The distinction among the pan and core genome is one of the most essential conception to emerge from comparing multiple strains of the genome sequence of the same bacterial species. The genetic material that is distributed by all the strains of the species is called as core genome. The genome that involves all other DNA, which specific to certain strains includes the gene restrain chromosomal islands, plasmids, viral genome and transposable elements is called as pan genome.
