Figure 15

A theoretical plot of the number of new genes expected to be found in the Nth genome for future H. influenzae sequencing projects. The plot was generated using strains isolated in North America, and the extrapolation may not hold for isolates from other geographic locales if some distributed genes are geographically isolated. The model predicts that the number of new genes found in a strain will diminish 20 after sequencing 30 strains, and the number will trend toward 0 as the number of sequences becomes large.
