a
Strain name at the EUROSCARF collection (http://web.uni-frankfurt.de/fb15/mikro/euroscarf/index.html).
b
Summary of annotations found at the Saccharomyces Genome Database (http://www.yeastgenome.org/).
c
Susceptibility of each strain to PAF26, as reported in [24]. “R” stands for increased resistance and “S” for increased susceptibility, respectively, as compared to the parental strain BY4741.
