Strain genotype comparison Relative mutation rate
A4 (−1) A14 (−1) A5 (+1) A12 (+1) Canr
pol2-4 vs wild type 6 2.2 7 1 2.3
exo1 pol2-4 vs exo1 111 10 385 55 5.7
msh2 pol2-4 vs msh2 37 2.5 309 1.6a 17
msh3 pol2-4 vs msh3  NDb 2.6 ND 1.1a 2.2
msh6 pol2-4 vs msh6 ND 1.7 ND 1.9 52
msh3 msh6 pol2-4 vs msh3 msh6 ND 1 ND 1 49
a

No significant difference; the 95% confidence intervals for the mutation rate in these two strains overlap. 

b

ND, not determined.
