  1. Analysis in basic TRF basic mode included four completed Wolbachia genomes with strain names in bold, wMel (NCBI accession NC_002978), wRi (NC_012416), wPip (NC_010981) and wBm (NC_006833), and the genomes of Anaplasma marginale (A.m.) strain St. Maries (CP_000030), Ehrlichia ruminantium (E.r.) st. Welgevonden (NC_005295), Neorickettsia risticii (N.r.) st. Illinois (NC_013009) and Escherichia coli (E. coli) K12 substrain MG1655 (NC_000913). TRF detected several tandem repeats (TR) within the same genomic regions, as some tandem repeats contain internal repeats; the number of tandem repeats in column three does hence overrepresent the number of tandem repeat loci in the genome.
