-
Gel files as shown in Fig. 2 were inspected manually and a rank was assigned to each of the potential mutations as observed by TILLING. Potential mutations were confirmed by resequencing.
-
↵a Lanes in gel that look different than normal, contain multiple signals, have a signal at the same height as a background signal, etc
-
↵b Including six unclassified mutations from gene6.
