Table 1 Segmentation results obtained from MGA alignments and included in the MOSAIC database. For each segmentation result, the first column describes the species and genomes used for segmentation analyses; the number of compared strains is indicated between parentheses. Total loop sizes and loop number of each genome are entered in the same order as strain names, and separated by '+'. Coverage corresponds to the ratio between backbone size and total genome size of a strain; here the mean value for all compared strains is given in percents.

From: Systematic determination of the mosaic structure of bacterial genomes: species backbone versus strain-specific loops
