Point estimates and intervals on bias β implied by measurement of: solo-LTR distribution (left); full-length proviral distribution under the recombination linked deletion model (middle); full-length proviral distribution under the non recombination linked deletion model (right). Although each model implies a single bias β, we also ask what bias values delineate the range (lower and upper) under which we could expect to measure our observed ratios with a probability of less than 0.05. We use ‘NA’ to mark those situations in which no point estimate or boundary value of β can be computed. Asterisks mark the genomes we consider as trustworthy and discuss in the Results section.
