Genetic distances and interference in Atmcm8 using FTLs.

Values are means ± Standard Error. Number of tetrads: Wild type I5aI5b n = 1986, Atmcm8 I5aI5b n = 1022, wild type I5cI5d n = 1860, Atmcm8 I5cI5d n = 646.*Z-test between wild type and Atmcm8.**The interference ratio is defined as the ratio of genetic distance of I5a with a CO in I5b by the genetic distance of I5a without a CO in I5b. The same was done for the interference ratio between I5c and I5d. Absence of interference would give a ratio of 1 that would tend to 0 with increased interference [57]. The chi square test shows a deviation from 1, and thus the presence of interference [31].
