Table 2 Probabilities of host mutation effects

Effect	Lethal (survival likelihood = 0)	Mildly deleterious^a	Neutral (survival likelihood unchanged)	Mildly beneficial^a
Probability	40%	30%	15%	15%

^aThe degree of mildly deleterious/beneficial mutations were varied in our experiments and are therefore detailed in the “Varied Parameters” section, below
