Genes identified as horizontally transferred from Haemophilus influenzae to Neisseria meningitis. ORF and Bayesian classification data are provided for both N. meningitisserotype A and, in parentheses for serotype B. Classification column indicates block length identified as being of H. influenzaeorigin. The genomic regions identified in N. meningitis were compared for homology using BLAST toward H. influenzae and the homologous sequences reported with accession number,e-value and percent identical nucleotides. The best hit after searching genomic regions using BLASTX with accession number and e-value. HmUS indicates the number of perfect matching nucleotides between the N. meningitis region and the consensus. The two N. meningitis genomes gave almost identical results (data not shown).
