a
GenBank accession numbers of strains are given in Materials and Methods.
b
For the poly(C) tract, the number before the parentheses represents the entire length of the tail (C's plus U's), whereas subscript numbers are the numbers of C's in that area. Conserved sequences flanking the poly(C) tract on both the 5′ and 3′ ends are in bold.
