To determine functional overrepresentation in gene content and SNPs among Xiphinematobacter isolates, gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis was performed on the Xiphinematobacter sp.-only pangenome not overlapping with outgroup Verrucomicrobia, designated “diff,” and the universe gene set included all genes in both sets. Full hierarchical GO annotations for the universe gene set were obtained primarily from UniProtKB and as needed from other databases (MetaCyc and KEGG). Enrichment analyses were performed in topGO v2.4.0 (96) which accounts for GO-term graph topology. TopGO was implemented in R using the script aip_topgo_usage.consider_universe.R (https://github.com/lyijin/topGO_pipeline/). Test statistics were assigned by the “weight01.fisher” algorithm for which returned P values are regarded as corrected (or not affected) by multiple testing. GO enrichment analysis in topGO was also performed on the genes with statistically significant DBGWAS SNPs associated with host Xiphinema phenotype as the filter on the complete Xiphinematobacter diff gene set in topGO.
