Fig. 8

Number of recombinations in one input sequence given a set of founder sequences generated with a varying number of input sequences and \(L = 10\). Here the median is displayed inside each box, the lower and upper hinges correspond to the first and third quartiles, and the data points outside the range of 1.5 times the distance between the first and the third quartiles from the hinges have been plotted individually. The mean values are shown with black diamonds for 3000, 4000 and 5009 input sequences. The experiments were done with the eight inputs listed on the x axis. The plotted boxes have been shifted slightly in order to prevent overprinting
