*Changes are listed in the order in which they appeared in each of the two bacteriophage selection lines. The nucleotide position is listed, followed by the protein affected, A–H, with the number of the amino acid residue and the nature of the amino acid substitution. Parallel changes are shown in boldface, and a superscript indicates the order of those changes in the other virus selection line.
