Figure 3.

Range plots as described in the methods for the number of TaqMan signature candidates for Marburg virus for (A) finished and (B) draft sequences. To discriminate samples in which zero NNs were used, the range is drawn as a horizontal gray line, and when n > 0, the range is drawn as a black line. The best estimate of the true value is the quality measure determined using the entire target and NN pools, and is represented by a vertical black line. This best estimate plus a constant c = 20 is at the location of the vertical dashed line and was selected to indicate a reasonable distance from the true answer. The 75% quantile for each range is shown with a black, vertical tick mark.
