Terminator Summary Help

  1. Regular - data in this column is from the regular/+/p strand of the genomic DNA.
  2. Complementary - data in this column is from the complementary/-/n strand of the genomic DNA.
  3. Terminators - all identified hairpins downstream of genes that exceed the ΔG cut off value (named as ALL in text).
  4. Greatest ΔG - the hairpin that is the best candidate to be a terminator (named as BEST in text). The Best are a subset of the ALL. For example, for a gene with >1 hairpin downstream of its stop codon, the Best structure is the one with the most negative ΔG value.
  5. L - canonical terminators' candidates (with a hairpin and U-trail).
  6. I - non-canonical terminators' candidates (with a hairpin but no U-trail).
  7. L greatest ΔG - "Best" canonical terminator.
  8. I greatest ΔG - "Best" non-canonical terminator.
  9. U - tandem terminators, where the hairpins are within 50bp of each other.
  10. V - where the second hairpin immediately follows the first one.
  11. X - structures present between 2 convergent genes.

Note: the individual hairpins of U, V and X could be either L- or I-shaped and one of the them may or may not be the Best structure for that gene.
