Numbers of genes that are specific to insecticidal strains.
Presence of genes was defined as 70% amino-acid pairwise identity over at least 70% of gene length for the pairwise comparisons.
Only genes that were common to all strains of sub-clade 1 (highly insecticidal strains), but not found in any strain of sub-clade 2 (non-insecticidal strains) were considered.
+ Indicates genes present in all these strains.
− Indicates genes absent in all these strains.
