Nutrition or nature: using elementary flux modes to disentangle the complex forces shaping prokaryote pan-genomes

Abstract Background Microbial pan-genomes are shaped by a complex combination of stochastic and deterministic forces. Even closely related genomes exhibit extensive variation in their gene content. Understanding what drives this variation requires exploring the interactions of gene products with eac...
