| Method |
Researchers describe a four-step
systems approach that iteratively integrates multiple genome-scale
measurements on the basis of genetic information flow to identify
the organizational elements and map them onto the genome sequence |
| Comments |
A total of 3,010 transcription
units (~65%) are monocistronic, whereas 1,652 transcription
units contain more than one ORF (polycistronic). Altogether, 398
transcription units (~9%) are nested within each other, defining a
convoluted genome structure |
