The Analysis of Multiple Genome Comparisons in Genus Escherichia and Its Application to the Discovery of Uncharacterised Metabolic Genes in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli CFT073

Table 2

Synteny conservation of sets of adjacent colinear genes in 18 sequenced strains of genus Escherichia; all these sets of genes are present in E. coli CFT073. Those genes which are part of genomic islands, as identified in [18], are marked with an asterisk.
