  1. 1 sRNA candidates reported in contemporary studies retain their original notation (smrC# or sra#) [26, 27]. Otherwise, the designation sm# corresponds to the full list of sRNA predictions obtained in this work by the global scoring procedure (Additional file 17). Candidate IgRs are sorted according to its descending global score (GS). Bolded candidates have been verified experimentally ([26, 27]; this work).
  2. 2 NN, neural network promoter prediction; s70, σ70-dependent promoter; s54, RpoN (σ54)-dependent promoter promoter; PhoB, putative PhoB binding site.
  3. 3 The coordinates of all putative promoters and/or transcription factor binding sites within an IgR are presented. The position given for NN is the 3' end of the identified sequence. For σ70 the position given is 7 bases downstream of the 3' end of the -10 hexamer. The 3' end of the predicted binding site for σ54 and PhoB is indicated with an asterisk.
  4. 4 Given is the position of the last uridine at the end of the terminator sequence.
  5. 5 Range of possible lengths based on putative 5' and 3' ends.
  6. 6 y, candidate present in sRNAPredictHT search (Additional file 4); n, candidate absent in sRNAPredictHT output.
  7. 7 As described in Table 1.
