Genomic characterization of ribitol teichoic acid synthesis in Staphylococcus aureus: genes, genomic organization and gene duplication

Table 1 The BLAST homology between tar/tag genes and their orthologs in S. aureus strains. Newly identified TarB (named new_tarB) is also included. Orthologs of tagA/tarA are merged together. Same for tagD/tarD, tarF/tagF, tarB/tagB. Detail Blast Results are shown in Additional File 2 and annotations of these genes are shown in Additional file 3.
