Distribution in main functional categories of the 4290 genes of E. coli K12-MG1655 (black), the 2880 genes of the core genome (deep gray), the 272 genes (gray), and the 113 genes (white) that differentiate the Shigella/EIEC strains from the remaining strains at Student t-test P values ≤5.0 × 10-3 and ≤1.0 × 10-3, respectively. The gene frequency (%) is expressed relative to the total number of genes in each considered data set (complete genome, core genome, genes with P ≤ 5.0 × 10-3 and ≤1.0 × 10-3).
