  1. Abbreviations: AA, Amino acid; Nta, N. tetrasperma mat a; NTA, N. tetrasperma mat A.
  2. The type of substitution was determined based on comparison of codons and amino acids (AA) to the closely related and normally recombining mat chromosomes from N crassa (NC). Data is based on concatenated sequences for each genomic region. Allele-specific substitutions are in bold. Codons and amino acids followed by different numbers within a single category are indicative of a substitution.
  3. aCodon positions that have switched to different codons on both the mat a and mat A chromosomes were not included in allele-specific counts and were categorized separately.
