zInverted repeat
a + present, − absent
bNumber of different products encoded
c rpoC2 considered two separate proteins (rpoC2A and rpoC2B)
dExcluding those specified by 12 repetitive genes predicted between rpoC1 and rpoC2A
eExcluding repetitive gene products from BBOV_V000300, BBOV_V000310, BBOV_V000320, BBOV_V000180, BBOV_V000200, and BBOV_V000210
fThe gene for each is present in IR and duplicated
gGenes specifying 9 tRNA species (tRNA-Ala(UGC), Arg(ACG), Arg(UCU), Asn(GUU), Ile(GAU), Leu(UAG), Met(CAU), Thr(UGU), and Val(UAC)) are present in IR and duplicated
hTwo genes encode different versions of tRNA-Thr. The gene for tRNA-Met is duplicated
iFive genes encode the same tRNA-Met(CAU)
jExcluding the hypothetical codon connecting rpoC2A and rpoC2B
