a

Constructs used for site-specific integration.

b

The source of DSB that led to the reported reductions.

c

For induced events, the frequency was calculated by dividing the number of male parents yielding white-eyed progeny over the total number of males tested. The actual counts are included in parentheses. For spontaneous events, the frequency was calculated by dividing the number of white-eyed offspring over the total number of progeny. The counts are included in parentheses.

d

Calculated by dividing the number of confirmed reductions over all white-loss events tested by molecular means.

e

For the molecular structure of different types of reduction events, see Figure 2.

f

Spontaneous events are categorized according to the gender of the duplication-carrying parents.

g

Flanking recessive markers were used to demonstrate homolog exchanges (see text).
