Table 1.

Allele lengths for each locus; estimates for C. jejuni for each housekeeping locus of the probability of an SLV being caused by mutation only (p); the expected number of mutations for an SLV; the relative rate of recombination to mutation; 95 % CI for the estimated relative rate of recombination to mutation; and the % of nucleotide differences of an SLV that were introduced by recombination
