  1. The main simulations in our study utilized the medium gap length distribution from the study of Liu et al. [15]. The model condition parameters consist of the number of taxa, model tree height, and insertion/deletion probability. Each model condition corresponds to a distinct set of model parameter values. The 10-taxon model conditions are named 10.A through 10.E in order of generally increasing sequence divergence; the 50-taxon model conditions are named 50.A through 50.E similarly. The following table columns list average summary statistics for each model condition (\(n=20\)). “NHD” is the average normalized Hamming distance of a pair of aligned sequences in the true alignment. “Gappiness” is the percentage of true alignment cells which consists of indels. “True align length” is the length of the true alignment
