Figure 9. Crystallization of a genome.

Figure 9

Stochastic simulations were used with genome length Inline graphic and mean base incorporation rate Inline graphic. The initial population (Inline graphic) contained random sequences and a single master sequence with relative fitness Inline graphic. The inverse fidelity was given by Eq. (25) with Inline graphic and Inline graphic. A: Relative frequency of the master sequence (initially Inline graphic). B: Average of the fractional Hamming distance (HD; Inline graphic initially).
