^aF₁ = (BALB/c × C3H/HeJ)F₁ mice. 

^b Cell source for DNA isolation: 8 10, and 18 d, age of mice in days; Pach, fraction enriched in pachytene spermatocytes; Hapl, fraction enriched in haploid spermatocytes; Sertoli, testis cells from 8-d-old mice after 8 d of cell culture; No DNA, no DNA added. 

^cNumber of haploid copies of germ cell DNA/number of haploid copies of total testis DNA. 

^dNumber of detected events/number of examined events. 

^eProbability per molecule to detect a gene conversion event in all DNA molecules. 

^fProbability per molecule to detect a gene conversion event taking only the germ cell contribution into account.
