The genomic locations of <i>rrn</i> operons are conserved in <i>B. pseudomallei</i>.

Footnote: Here, rrn genomic distribution was characterized in B. pseudomallei by comparing both complete and incomplete† whole genome sequences to the completed strain, K96243. Prior to comparison, contigs from incomplete sequences were assembled using the Artemis Comparison Tool to generate artificial chromosomes [32]. The presence of only three rrn operons may be a result of incomplete genomic coverage or imperfect assembly. In some casest, rrn operons were present in translocated and/or inverted genomic regions, in which case the genomic location is still considered to be identical to the reference sequence.
