Effects of internal and external recombination on Tajima’s D values. Bacterial populations with a range of recombination rates were simulated with SimBac. (A) Tajima's D values from simulations of internal recombination rates ranging from 0 to 0.03 in the absence of external recombination. (B) Tajima’s D values from simulations performed with an internal recombination rate of 0.003 (r/m = 1) and external recombination rates ranging from 0 to 0.003. Points are filled according to the upper limit of diversity in external recombinant fragments.
