Figure 5. Inter-replichore inversions exhibit symmetry.

Inter-replichore inversions exhibit greater symmetry about the origin and terminus than expected under a null model. Symmetry for inter-replichore inversions has been quantified by Equation 1 and compared to a null distribution. The null distribution is created by applying the permutation statistic in Eqn 2 to each of the 30,000 sampled rearrangement histories. The pooled posterior samples and permutations are plotted here, statistical tests are done on a per sample basis.
