LGST, lagging strand template; LDST, leading strand template; obs, observed; exp, expected; MA, mutation accumulation experiments.

a

P is the probability of the χ2 value calculated comparing the observed to the expected values. The expected values were calculated from the ratios of nucleotides of each type on the LGST vs. the LDST in the MG1655 genome, which are 0.99 for adenines and 0.94 for cytosines.
