Relatedness within polygenomic infections. Barplots of jackknife estimates of the mean relatedness within 31 polygenomic infections collected from Senegal from 2011–2013. Error bars represent one jackknife estimate of the standard error of the mean. Relatedness is defined as the proportion of genome shared IBD between the strains comprising each polygenomic infection. While there is no clustering of relatedness by year, samples collected in 2011 are less related (average relatedness = 0.24) than samples collected in 2012 and 2013 (average relatedness = 0.46 and 0.50, respectively) (p value = 0.048, one-way ANOVA). Samples collected from 2012 and 2013 had lower coverage than those in 2011, which may contribute to their higher relatedness values
