n1_4mer:GRV/n1_4mer:RV = (Global Relative Variance of OU patterns) / (Local Relative Variance of OU patterns)
n0_4mer:D = Distance between local and global OU patterns
n0_4mer:PS = Distance between 2 strands of same DNA molecule
Selected loci indicated by large D, increased GRV associated with decreased RV and moderate increase in PS

Host Lineage: Dichelobacter nodosus; Dichelobacter; Cardiobacteriaceae; Cardiobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Causative agent of ovine footrot which results in lameness and the loss of commerically important animals. The disease is caused by a mixed microbial infection of Fusobacterium necrophorum, which causes skin lesions, and Dichelobacter nodosus, which can then invade and gain access to the deeper tissue. Once aerotolerant Dichelobacter nodosus infects, which it does through the production of a number of fimbrial adhesins, it secretes both extracellular proteases and toxins which result in damage to the soft tissue underneath the horn of the hoof.
