TABLE 4.
Effect of combining msh2Δ and rad27Δ on lys2::InsE-A8 mutation rate
The strains are isogenic to E35 (wild type) and were prepared using the lithium acetate/PEG/DMSO transformation method. 95% confidence intervals are in parentheses.

msh2Δ | 750 (640–970) | 460 |
rad27Δ | 110 (76–160) | 68 |
msh2Δ rad27Δ | 21,000 (17,000–27,000) | 13,000 |
