  1. Column headings are: S, species; N I , number of sequenced isolates of species S; N C A , core proteome size of the sequenced isolates of S; N C R , average core proteome size of the randomly-generated sets; P C , probability that the average core proteome size of the randomly-generated sets is different than the core proteome size of the sequenced isolates of S; N C > , fraction of random sets having a core proteome larger than S. N U A , N U R , P U and N U > are analogous to N C A , N C R , P C , and N C > , respectively, and refer to the comparisons involving the number of proteins found in all sequenced isolates of S, but no other isolates from the same genus ("unique proteomes"). In some cases, all of the random sets corresponding to a particular species had zero unique proteins. No P-value could be computed for these because the standard deviation of these values was zero. In these situations, the P U column contains a dash character (-). The averages in both column N C R and column N U R are rounded to the nearest whole number. For certain rows, column N U R shows a value of 0; in some cases, this value is exact, while in other situations, it is due to rounding. If due to rounding, then the standard deviation of the random sets is non-zero, and column P U contains a P-value. For columns P C and P U , "n.s." means "not significant", a single asterisk indicates a P-value of less than 0.05, and a double asterisk indicates a P-value of less than 0.001. See Table 4 for the continuation of this table.
