Cross-generational analysis of recovery-line mutation sites. The 28 mutations identified in R12A, R12B, and R12C were analyzed at nearly complete 10-generation intervals in the recovery lines. Chromosome positions (approximate) are shown on the left for each mutation. (Green circles) Instances where the ancestral (MA12) base was detected; (red circles) the detection of recovery-line mutations in fixed states; (yellow circle) the single observed incidence of heterozygosity (Fig. 4); (gray circles) the R12B timepoint not assayed.
