[…] Overall, BelcheriHV-1 was 24 × less impacted by nucleotide variations than the B. belcheri genome, with an average of one SNP per 5,958 nt, vs one SNP per 174 nt, respectively.” “[the dispensable genes] found in hemizygosity in only one of the two parental genotypes […] were absent in 40% of the offspring (expected 50%) and those found in hemizygosity in both parental genomes […] were absent in 19% of the offspring (expected 25%).”"]]
