Accuracy of data sets generated along a 18 taxa tree (JC model).

Accuracy of ML inferred trees from data sets of 1,500 bp generated along a 18 taxa tree and under a growing percentage of editing positions. Background sites evolved according to the JC model [17]. Results from multiple alignments lacking editing sites are also shown as control.
