a

Genomes per cell: 13,056 in monomeric wild-type (WT) lines; 8550 in duplication (Dup) lines; 11,875 in deletion dimer (Del) lines. 

b

Significant difference compared with wild-type value (p < 0.05). 

c

Assumes that transcription in rearranged lines is regulated in the same way as in wild-type lines. Thus, for 1-copy genes, transcription in Dup lines is 1× (8,550/13,056) relative to WT lines. For 2-copy genes, transcription in Dup lines is 2× (8,550/13,056) and in Del dimer lines is 2× (11,875/13,056) relative to WT lines.
