xenoGI: reconstructing the history of genomic island insertions in clades of closely related bacteria

BMC Bioinformatics

Table 1 Summary of xenoGI results on validation cases in five strains

	Num. islands	Total bases	Base coverage	In single island
Burkholderia cenocepacia J2315	13	530,772	0.977	0.917
Corynebacterium diphtheriae NCTC 13129	13	249,918	0.983	0.769
Cronobacter sakazakii ATCC BAA-894	14	305,124	0.879	0.643
Streptococcus equi 4047	7	243,337	0.951	0.857
Vibrio cholerae O1 biovar eltor str. N16961	6	295,096	0.970	0.833

Each row corresponds to a strain. Num. islands represents the number of validation islands and total bases represents the total number of nucleotides in those islands. Base coverage is the proportion of all bases in the validation islands that xenoGI correctly recognized as an island. In single island indicates the proportion of validation islands that xenoGI captured as a single island
