^a Genes are not arranged relative to cox1 because only a partial genome is available. Those genes encoded on the "-" strand are indicated with an asterisk (*).
^b T, and TA, refer to instances where incomplete stop codons were 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).
