Effect of the parameter d
| d | Unambiguous | Random |
|---|---|---|
| 0.15 | 17 | 18 |
| 0.25 | 4.6 | 4.9 |
| 0.45 | 2.3 | 2 |
| 0.75 | 1.3 | 2.8 |
| 1.15 | 1.1 | 86 |
| d | Two substitutions | 8 × GT |
| 0.25 | 6.3 | 1.1 |
| 0.35 | 3.2 | 2.8 |
| 0.45 | 1.6 | 12 |
(Top) Total recognition time (×106) for an unambiguous sequence and for a realistic random sequence, for different values of d. (Bottom) Ratio of the total recognition time for a sequence with two substitutions (respectively, a sequence with eight dinucleotide repeats) to the total recognition time for an unambiguous sequence, for different values of d. One-hundred simulations per value, N = 20, Ehom = −5.5, Ehet = −1.5, Erep = 2, and Ecoopbind = 2.
