Quantitative mating experiments. To quantify mating efficiencies, cells were seeded on SC^{‐Lys,‐Ura} selective plates containing a lawn of mating tester cells and in parallel on SC^‐Ura plates to determine the seeding cell number. Cell colonies were counted after 2–3 days and the mating efficiency was determined by calculating the ratio between the mated and the seeded cells. Shown is a box plot representation for the results from nine independent experiments. Statistical analyses were performed using Student's t‐test
