Compositional Features of Atypical Clusters 2A and 3A of E. coli Long (⩾500 Nucleotide) ORFs

Clustering A B C
2-means no. of AT ORFs 952 470 470
no. of horizontally transferred genes in the overlap 324 132 257
no. of class III genes in the overlap 68 32 42
3-means no. of AT ORFs 863 470 470
no. of horizontally transferred genes in the overlap 321 152 260
no. of class III genes in the overlap 65 36 42

  • Note that the number of horizontally transferred genes with a length ⩾ 500 nucleotides is 410 (Lawrence and Ochman 1998). The number of class III genes with a length ⩾ 500 nucleotides is 99 (Medigue et al. 1991).
