3 Figure S1. Epitope coervation among Burkholderia species and common FC superinfection agents: the table is subdivided in four sectio, one for each antigen. The coervation has been evaluated via BLASTp agait the proteome of 11 bacteria and 1 fungus using the EemblGenomes database ( For each query, only clear homologues have been reported in case of strong similarities, and only the best hit in case of poor similarities. A color code is adopted to underline the similarity level: exact or almost exact matches are shown in green background. Blue background is for homologous protei, yellow stands for poor similarity and red is for no similarity. For each genome, the table shows the number of similar protei coidered, the length of the aligned region, the percentage of identity between the aligned sequences, the genomic location on the reference genome and its orientation on the DNA strand (forward = +, reverse = -) and the epitope sequences (mutatio highlighted in red). One locus has been split by EemblGenomes during alignment. Multiple results here are actually a single one.
