ORFs in the aromatic island of the genome. For each of the 244 ORFs in the region the following is supplied: NCBI reference identification, abbreviated ORF identification used in the text, gene name, product, orthologous gene in the Geobacter strain FRC-32 genome, orthologous gene in the Geobacter sulfurreducens genome, the genus and species name and the NCBI reference number of the closest homolog in the non-redundant database, the start and end of the ORF in the G. metallireducens genome, the total GC content of the ORF, the GC content of each of the three codon positions, and the effective number of codons (Nc) used in the ORF.
