Redundancy analysis of the SSH experiments. To verify the effectiveness of the SSH sequencing approach to continually identify novel sequences in the genomes of the Xf strains in this study, increasing numbers of SSH sequences were submitted to clustering analyses with Phred/CAP3 and the consensus sequences obtained through this analysis were filtered against the genomic sequence of Xf strain 9a5c. The number of novel nucleotides identified through this approach was plotted as a function of sequenced SSH clones. The inclination of the curve indicates that the SSH approach is still capable of identifying novel sequences in the genomes of the tested strains, although it is likely that most such sequences have already been obtained.
