Table 1 Comparison of basic parameters for CP220 and CPt10 phage genomes

	Genome size bp^a (+/- variable repeats)	Genome % G+C content	CDS % G+C content	Number of CDS^b	Coding Density^b %	Strand Bias 'forward'
CP220	177 493/171 841	27.4	28.2	194	88.4	173/194
CPt10	175 720/173 299	27.3	28.0	201	89.7	180/201

^a Genome sizes are given both for the sequences as currently assembled and excluding repeat regions which may be variable in size.
^b The number of CDS regions and the coding density is based on the proportion of the genome covered by discrete coding regions. It does not account for CDS regions produced from internal initiation sites or alternative gene products produced by splicing, post-translational processing or other mechanisms that may increase the number of protein products produced from the genome.
