*These bounds indicate the ratio of the minimum and maximum sequencing coverage measured at the indicated locus to the mean sequencing coverage over the genome.

Significance levels are shown after Bonferroni corrections for multiple tests of the same hypothesis.

There may be two discontinuous amplifications of dctA in this genome, or there may be a single continuous amplification with a short region of low coverage within the gene. The second region of amplification has a similar copy number. We present data for only one region, which provides a conservative estimate of the overall statistical significance in this case.
