^aThe number of deleted genes and pseudogenes includes those either wholly or partially deleted. ^bThe overall number of deletions and amplifications is the sum of those found in all strains, so indels found in more than one strain were counted multiple times. ^cThe overall number of deleted genes and pseudogenes is the number deleted in at least one of the 12 strains (genes deleted in more than one strain were counted only once).
