Those encoded on the "-" strand are indicated with an asterisk (*). b T, and TA, refer to instances where incomplete stop codons are inferred. c Unassigned regions are identified by positive values. Negative values indicate overlap between adjacent genes. Values in brackets refer to %AT of the associated UR (only those UR >10 bp in length were analyzed). d For the unassigned region between trnR and trnY spanning the pseudogene rrnS.
