Linear regression equations of generation times of the swap treatments. The linear regression gradient represents the change of generation time between each swap counts (5–7 passages).

Original treatment	New treatment	Linear regression equation
	High MSG	Generation time = 0.90 Swap count + 151
	Low MSG	Generation time = −5.87 Swap count + 230
Low SALT	High BA	Generation time = −6.68 Swap count + 385
	Low BA	Generation time = 1.29 Swap count + 151
	High COMB	Generation time = 2.34 Swap count + 312
	Low COMB	Generation time = 3.44 Swap count + 138
Low MSG	High MSG	Generation time = −4.37 Swap count + 237
Low BA	High BA	Generation time = −15.02 Swap count + 398
Low SALT	High SALT	Generation time = −10.67 Swap count + 290
Low COMB	High COMB	Generation time = −17.18 Swap count + 348
High MSG	Low MSG	Generation time = −6.91 Swap count + 214
High BA	Low BA	Generation time = −5.25 Swap count + 182
High SALT	Low SALT	Generation time = −1.53 Swap count + 193
High COMB	Low COMB	Generation time = −4.20 Swap count + 192
High MSG		Generation time = −63.58 Swap count + 814
