†
Baer mutation accumulation (MA) line number from the Baer et al. (2005) experiment [28].
‡
Relative reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels expressed as means (standard error) of relative fluorescence units.
*
Indicates significantly different from N2 ancestor.
§
Means (standard error) of 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2′-deoxyguanosine, or 8-oxodG, are reported as ×109 damaged bases per nanogram of DNA.
