The Evolution of DNA Regulatory Regions for Proteo-Gamma Bacteria by Interspecies Comparisons

Table 2.

Statistics for the Preservation of Three Categories of Contiguous Pairs of E. coli Genes Separated by between 1 and 500 Non-Coding Bases

Number of gene pairs: eco stm kpn ype vch
tandem (same strand) 2388 1045 729 547 252
divergently transcribed 552 305 204 123 34
convergently transcribed 517 222 53 36 7

  • The genes matched are further restricted to those in the third row of Table 1, with a unique match which begins within the first (last) six residues of the query gene (with first/last chosen so that the inter gene region is well delineated).
