^aFold change of normalized read count for each of the listed genes in each deletion mutant relative to the read count from wild-type (MB001) cells. Raw read counts for each gene were normalized across samples to account for sample coverage. Tabulated data represent the average of duplicate RNA-seq runs for each strain.
