The Fragile Breakage versus Random Breakage Models of Chromosome Evolution

Breakpoint Reuse Rates in Simulations

The simulated number of microrearrangements is k, and the microrearrangement size is w. The same simulated rearrangements were analyzed three ways.

(A) ST-Synteny simulation, with signs of blocks determined using their majority sign rule.

(B) ST-Synteny simulation, with signs of blocks determined using GRIMM-Synteny's separable permutation rule.

(C) GRIMM-Synteny simulation. Anchors have length 1 for comparison with ST-Synteny.
