Table 3 Probabilities of TE insertion effects

Effect	Lethal (survival likelihood = 0)	Mildly deleterious^a	Neutral (survival likelihood unchanged)	Mildly beneficial^a
Probability	30%	20%	30%	20%

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