* Species and strain, those used to probe the database † Matches, number of genes detected using the specific probe ‡ Both, genes detected by both the specific probe and that from Bacillus; § Probe only, those sequences detected by the specific probe but not by that from Bacillus Bacillus only, those sequences detected by the Bacillus probe but not by the specific probe ¥ % new, per cent of new sequences not detected by the Bacillus probe # All, the total number of sequences found by all probes; those that were common to Bacillus and one or more of the specific probes; the number of genes found with specific probes but not by that from Bacillus (new sequences); those found by the Bacillus probe but not by the others; the per cent of new sequences, that is the number of new sequences divided by the number of Bacillus sequences times 100. The data given in the table are raw data without the elimination of sequences that are somewhat doubtful because in this table we are trying to maximally expand the search parameters.
