Instability frequencies and genome fold stabilization of WT cells grown on media plates containing D-glucosamine, myriocin, YEPG (glycerol), and cycloheximide normalized to WT cells grown on YEPD. Cells with a light gray background indicate genome fold stabilization increase; cells with a white background indicate decreased fold stabilization (<1.0 = increased instability) or no change in stabilization (=1.0). Statistically significant appears in boldface type. Kruskal–Wallis test, * P < 0.01. N/A, not applicable.
