The genomes are sorted by the number of genes, from the largest to smallest, and the E. coli genomes are in bold. The multi-deletion series (MDS) strain data are from Posfai et al. [5], and data for the other genomes are from EMBL files (EMBL accession numbers in the last column). An up-to-date table of the enteric genomes sequenced and available so far can be obtained from the GenomeAtlas database [13] by typing in 'BProt GE' in the keyword search.
