Values represent the number of sequences in each category. The " in silico inferred toxins" are sequences that meet all the constraints implemented in TAQ whereas the "bad poisons" do not match the length constraints and the "without antidote poisons" meet the size constraints but do not exhibit an ORF of constrained size and position (see text for details). "Artificial" sequences are engineered sequences such as cloning vectors.
