Table 1

^*Location of the gene in the genome, expressed in absolute number of genes from minute zero. ^†Percentage of conservation of gene order with respect to other genomes, expressed as the ratio between the number of times that the gene is conserved in the run and the total number of times that the gene is present. ^‡The functional class is a general assignment of function as provided by the EUCLID system. Arrows in the right part of the figure indicate operons. Red tips in the arrows indicate that the operon continues in that direction, therefore containing genes not included in the run. Only operons for which experimental evidence is available are considered.
