Note. Data are Mean (SD). Values which share the same superscript were not significantly different from each other. Superscripts ^a.b.c indicate post-hoc within-group (UMIs content) differences (Bonferroni). Superscripts ^1.2.3 indicate post-hoc among location differences (same UMI content) (Bonferroni). Same superscript means no differences.
