  1. For each neutral site integration strain, six transformants were tested, and at least three biological replicate experiments were performed for each strain using standard growth conditions. Data are the averages of all biological replicates and all transformants with the standard deviation reported as error. A two sample t test assuming equal variances compared ΔNS1 and ΔNS2 to the wild type to confirm that these values are statistically similar (two-tail p values >0.05)
