Genome sizes include all extrachromosomal elements identified in the sequenced strain. Protein encoding regions do not include regulatory regions or terminator codons. Coding region proportions are relative to complete genome size. Percentages of signature clusters represented in each organism are calculated relative to the complete set identified here (351 clusters).
