Whole-genome analysis of Fusarium graminearum insertional mutants identifies virulence associated genes and unmasks untagged chromosomal deletions

Table 2 Deletion of gene regions in the four mutants and numbers of genes lost

Strain	Chromosome	Position of sequence loss (bp)	Number of genes contained within the lost regions
DAF139	1	1 - 503,655	207
DAF140*	2	8,496,503 - 8,911,601	177
DAF141	4	1 - 182,475	72
TP11.1	None	None	None

*For DAF140, the plasmid vector insertion occurred in chromosome 1 (see Table 1). Chromosome 2 was affected by an untagged gene deletion event.
