Interpreting of roary output (pangenome frequence) #533

Open vappiah opened 3 years ago

vappiah commented 3 years ago

Hello All, I performed a pangenome analysis with roary on a set of data. And I am finding it difficult to interpret the pangenome frequency chart. I checked on the roary website but could not get any information or explanation about it.

pangenome_frequency

My issue is with regards to the number of genomes and the corresponding genes. If lets say 2 genomes, which 2 out of the six genomes does it refer to ? Do I assume it is an average ? or there is some sort of arrangement. Thanks
