On each day, Fisher's exact test was performed on two types of data. First, the frequency of animals with any score greater than 0 (Any GFP) was compared between genotypes. Second, the frequency of animals with a score of 3 (GFP outside of gut) was compared between genotypes. Significant differences (below adjusted alpha) are displayed in bold.
