List of prokaryotic genomes with ≥7 LSSR1–4. Data for multiple strains of the same species are listed as a range of values. The ″dependence on a host″ information was obtained from the National Center for Biotechnology Information's Genome Project Database (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) and references therein.
