Analysis of Table 1 shows that 95% of the H.influenzae genome should be considered as H.influenzae typical. In fact, H.influenzae is one of the 10 first potential donors for 92% of all 5 kb sequences that can be derived from its genome. As already observed for B.subtilis, the concordance of these two percentages corroborates the partition procedure used for the selection of typical/atypical fragments.
