Table 1.

Perfect simple sequence repeats (SSRs) identified in the B. mallei ATCC 23344 genome.

Chromosome	Coding			Intergenic	Total
	5' end	Middle	3' end
1	1809	1811	1786	1789	7195
2	1401	1433	1310	1208	5352
Total	3210	3244	3096	2997	12547

Locations of the SSRs in the genome are denoted with the coordinates of their start and end points (i.e. match 5' end and 3' end) in the relevant chromosomes (i.e. 1 or 2) and also with their relative positions within the coding region of a gene: 5' end, middle, and 3' end.
