  1. A 'Y' in column I indicates that a uniquely identifying RNase T1 oligoribonucleotide composition was found that was not present in any of the other 1,920 organisms sampled. A 'Y' in Column II or III indicates that two or three masses respectively were found that when taken together are uniquely identifying. An "N" indicates that the calculation did not yield a one, two, or three peak signature. "-" indicates that further determinations were not necessary.
