^a HPT number is an arbitrarily assigned unique ID. Table is sorted by order in the B. bronchiseptica RB50 genome.

^b Identifier of ORF that is either contains or is downstream of the HPT. Empty cell indicates that no orthologous sequence exists in that genome.

^c Numbers are length of HPTs. Sequences are given when the tract contains a substitution relative to alleles in the other genomes.

^d "y" denotes HPT length polymorphism among the three sequenced genomes.

^e "I", located in intergenic region; "C", located in coding sequence

^f Probability that the HPT overlaps a promoter coded as follows: H, high; K, known to overlap experimentally defined promoter.

Values were determined only for coding HPTs. See Methods for definitions of classes.

^g Functional categories from MultiFun classification system as assigned by Parkhill, et al. [3]
