SNP markers, genes affected by the SNPs, and primers.

aGenBank accession no. AJ749949.bD, Primer with derived SNP state; A, Primer with ancestral SNP state; C, Common primer.cPrimer tails and 3′-end mismatch base are in lower case.dNo sequences with a G found by BLAST search against the nt database 2009/22/04, among isolates of the family of Francisellacae, uncultured and environmental Francisella-like bacteria.eB.21 is identical to Ft-SNP1 and B.22 is identical to Ft-SNP2 in Svensson et al 2009 (submitted manuscript).
