Effect of alignment error on evolutionary distance estimation. Relative error in evolutionary distance is measured as the absolute difference between the distance estimated from the true alignment and the distance estimated from the observed alignment, divided by the distance estimate from the true alignment. (A) Relative error in evolutionary distance versus proportion of correctly aligned sites. (B) Relative error in evolutionary distance versus true percent identity.
