Genotypes are presented using traditional nomenclature. The various forms of rec refer to different recombinant alleles. RecA carries the pseudogene sequence beginning from intron 3, and the crossover site is in intron 3; recB carries the 55-bp deletion in exon 9, as well as point mutations Asp409His, Leu444Pro, Ala456Pro, and Val460Val, and the crossover site is in the intron 8 or the beginning of exon 9 region; recC carries mutations Asp409His, Leu444Pro, Ala456Pro, and Val460Val, and the crossover site is in exon 9; recD, E, F carry mutations Leu444Pro, Ala456Pro, and Val460Val, and the crossover sites include exon 9-intron 9, intron 9 or intron 9-exon 10, recG carries the pseudogene sequence beginning from the 3′ UTR or has a duplicated pseudogene with a fusion between MTX and pseudometaxin, and the crossover site is in the 3′UTR or in MTX gene; recNci carries mutations Leu444Pro, Ala456Pro and Val460Val, and the crossover site is at the end of exon 9 or intron 9.
