Table 1 Mutations over the sexual cycle of N. crassa. Number of mutations per genome per sexual cycle were reported for each genomic region, i.e., within duplicates (defined by Dup-Blast), near duplicates (400 bp upstream and downstream flanking regions) and non-duplicates. All numbers are given as mean ± SEM. 2:2 and 3:1 refer to the pattern of segregation of mutations post meiosis

From: Repeat-induced point mutation in Neurospora crassa causes the highest known mutation rate and mutational burden of any cellular life
