Table 2. Size of genes induced by UV light at the restrictive temperature.

UV	n	Median	Gene size*	Mean†	P‡
Random§	132	29,104	14.6 ± 0.2	24,800
10 J/m2	14	10,340	13.1 ± 0.4	8,800	0.005
30 J/m2	17	5,822	12.6 ± 0.3	6,200	<0.0001

^*The size of individual genes in bp were log₂ transformed, and the mean (±SEM) of these log₂ transformed values is presented.

^†For clarity, mean gene size is presented in a linear form, but was determined from the mean of transformed values by using the formula: mean gene size = 2^{mean gene size (log2)}.

^‡Each mean was compared to the mean determined from randomly selected genes by using a t test.

^§Randomly selected genes.
