The slope of the regression, and its standard error, between DNM density and replication time or PC1 in individuals born to young (less than 28 years) or old (28 years and older) fathers. The DNM density was normalised for each age group such that the mean DNM density was one. Also given is the p-value from a test of whether the slopes are the same.

* p<0.05

** p<0.01

*** p<0.001.
