Representative chromosomal segment (RCS) | Chromosomal location in QM6a | Transcription profiles | Long (>500 bps) AT-rich DNA | 5mCs | C-to-T mutations | 5mCs | C-to-T mutations |

aDim2 is responsible for 5mCs at RSC3-AT in wild-type and rid1Δ vegetative mycelia, whereas C-to-T mutations were hardly detected at RCS1-GTX, RCS2-SOR and RCS3-AT in vegetative mycelia.
bOnly Dim2 is responsible for 5mCs at RCS1-GTX and RCS2-SOR in the wild-type and rid1Δ fruiting bodies, whereas Dim2, Rid1 and DimX act redundantly to mediate 5mCs and C-to-T mutations at RCS3-AT in the fruiting bodies.
