The data for the Rad+ (WT) strain are from reference 29, the data for rad30Δ strain are given in Supplemental Table 1.

D (mut/kb), densities of mutations in the 4396 nt LYS2 reporter were calculated as described in reference 45 using the formula: D=(n2+ 2n3+ 3n4 + 4n5 + 5n6)/(M − 4.396), where nx is the observed number of mutants with x mutations and M is the total number of mutants. Calculations were made on the assumptions that (1) the vast majority of mutants originate from the hypermutable fraction; and (2) within this fraction individual mutations occur with equal probability in every cell.

3

Indel: Small insertions and deletions.

4

Comp: Complex mutations.

Sub Py and Sub Pu: Number of simple base substitutions in pyrimidine (Py: T or C) or purine (Pu: A or G) nucleotides in the non-resected strand.
