Table 3. Putative Wolbachia-like open reading frames identified in the Dictyocaulus viviparus nuclear genome.
Feature | Value | Comment |
Number of open reading frames (ORFs) * | 1580 | |
Mean ORF length (bp) | 729 ± 703 | In wBm the mean length is 859±712 bp |
Distinct Wolbachia genes identified ** | 567 | These are present in 1033 ORFs. 547 ORFs had no similarity to other Wolbachia genes. |
Genes identified in only 1 ORF | 318 | 134 had <70% coverage; 79 of these genes are not present in wBm |
Genes identified in more than 1 ORF | 249 | Mean number of ORFs per gene identifier = 2.9; SD = 1.4 |
*Predicted using RAST. The RAST analysis of the Wolbachia-like fragments from D. viviparus is available on the RAST server at http://rast.nmpdr.org/?page=JobDetails&job=112231.
**These are genes identified by RAST as being similar to genes identified in other Wolbachia genomes. Some genes are present in multiple, distinct copies in the D. viviparus assembly.
