(A–C). Clade-specific character and accessory genes. Each chart plots the number of clade-specific character present in n or fewer genomes. There are no clade-specific genes present in the 13 genomes that constitute a subclade of close B. anthracis relatives (A; BCZK, bce21, BALH, bce4, BACI, BT, bth9, bth12, GBAA, bth7, bth10, BACH8, bce16) (see Fig. 2) or in all clade 1 strains (B) and only one in clade 2 (C). There are also no clade-specific gene present in all the outlying clade strains (not shown).
