aSpore colonies were replica plated on non-selective and selective media; the number of colonies recombinant for each genetic interval are indicated. Diploid (potentially complementing) spore colonies were excluded from analysis. bGenetic distance calculated using the mapping function of Haldane [66]. cFold reduction in crossing over relative to published map distances in wild-type cells (NCBI Entrez Genome) [36]. The strains crossed were: WSP1826 × WSP1967; WSP1825 × WSP1962; WSP1967 × WSP1973; WSP1967 × WSP1973; WSP1967 × WSP1973; WSP2015 × WSP2018; WSP2026 × WSP2024; WSP2020 × WSP1966; WSP1670 × WSP1968; WSP1966 × WSP2027; WSP1966 × WSP2027; WSP1966 × WSP2027; WSP2014 × WSP2011; WSP1809 × WSP2028. Strain genotypes are provided in Table 3.
