Table 1 Mutations in CAN1 are mostly large-scale changes, while mutations in URA3 are mostly small-scale changes

From: Growth conditions that increase or decrease lifespan in Saccharomyces cerevisiae lead to corresponding decreases or increases in rates of interstitial deletions and non-reciprocal translocations
