  1. Abbreviation: NS, not significant.
  2. Comparisons are calculated with log-rank. Comparisons are done globally (all 12 lines), with those lines with Calvià nuclear DNA (11 lines), excluding haplotype VIII (10 lines), haplotype I vs haplotype II, and between lines with haplotype VIII (VIIIt, with Tenerife nuclear DNA, and VIIIc, with Calvià nuclear DNA).
  3. *P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001; degrees of freedom are within parentheses.
