What is a Pan-Genome?

The sum of all core and accessory genes of a species

The sum of all core and accessory genes of an individual

The sum of all core and accessory genes of a strain

What is the main pathological effect of Horizontal Gene Transfer?

Can make non-pathogen strains pathogenic

Release of DNA diverts bacterial energy to virulence

Persistence of the episome (i,e, freely replicating plasmids)

Integrations by the bacteriophage

Illegitimate incorporation (i.e. Ds break repair)
