a

N: sample size, the number of male parents tested followed by the number of progeny with and without the I-SceI cut chromosome scored in parentheses.

b

SSA frequency, the proportion of white-eyed progeny. SEM: standard error of the mean.

c

The two-tailed P-value calculated using the permutation test for the null hypothesis that the median SSA frequencies are the same between a particular mutant and the WT control. The underlined numbers indicate that the two samples were statistically different.

d

GC frequencies for the [wIw]8z assay are calculated as follows: Inline graphic, for testing both the lig4 and spnA mutations with the homozygous assay using the [wIw]8z template. GC frequencies for second chromosome mutations are calculated as follows: Inline graphic, since w+ progeny were taken for allelic PCR directly without scoring for the recut phenotypes. Since these GC frequencies are derived from complex calculations, no P-values were given for these samples. GC events for the [wIw]yellow assay were scored directly as progeny with light yellow eyes (Figure 2B). GC frequencies are calculated as the proportion of these yellow-eyed flies in total progeny.

e

The number of flies tested for eye mosaicism in the presence of I-SceI to assay the integrity of the I-SceI cut site. The numbers in parentheses are the number of flies producing nonmosaic progeny.

f

The number of flies tested with allelic PCR to detect interhomolog GC with the [wIw]8z template. The numbers in parentheses are the number of flies producing a positive PCR product.

g

The heat-shock temperatures for I-SceI induction.

h

Df=Df(2L)JS17.

i

Df=Df(3R)X3F.

j

Since none of the eight w+ recut events was PCR+, the highest possible GC rate was calculated as 0.001 (Inline graphic).
