Figure 4. Probability of independently generating XMRV.

Figure 4

Different areas are shown in square inches. The probability of generating XMRV, a virus identical in sequence, by recombination between PreXMRV-1 and PreXMRV-2 would be about the same as of dropping a quarter from a helicopter and have it fall on top of another quarter in New York City.
