Part or all of the Caméor mutant population was screened for mutations in the genes listed. The size of the screened amplicon, the number of mutants identified and the mutation frequency for each amplicon are indicated. The average mutation frequency was estimated to one mutation per 200 kb and is calculated as in Greene et al. [6], except that we have summed the sizes of all the amplicons and we divided by the total number of identified mutants.
