TABLE 2 .

Coverage of the phasotype space changes with bottleneck sizea

Bottleneck size % of populations with all possible phasotypes (mean) for populations with a final size of:
224 227 230
1 0 (50.54) 0 (58.55) 15 (62.80)
2 0 (52.27) 6 (60.35) 37 (63.26)
8 2 (58.04) 26 (62.30) 84 (63.83)
128 5 (60.18) 51 (63.40) 97 (63.97)
1,024 11 (62.24) 87 (63.86) 100 (64.00)

Shown are the mean number of phasotypes present in the final population from 100 runs of the simulator and the percentage of those runs in which all possible phasotypes (n = 64) were produced in the final population. Because the simulator is stochastic, repeating the sample of a hundred runs of the simulator will give a different percentage of runs, resulting in total coverage and a slightly different mean. The values shown are representative.
