^a Amplicon locus tag, length and location in genome of F. tularensis strain SCHU S4.
^b Primer sequence of primer Tuf1705 in marker 20-ISFtu2 and TUL-435 in marker 22-lpnA seem to be incorrectly specified in [56]. See [37] and [59] for the correct primer sequences.
^c Insertion element present in multiple copies in reference. Only first position and gene specified.
