Fig. 1.
Number of variants with error depth of v from aggregated simulated cycles of PCR amplification at four error rates: 12 cycles (left), 14 cycles (middle), and 18 cycles (right). Ptheo. and NBtheo. are calculated using equation (3), and Pemp. and NBemp. are calculates using equation (4). The χ2 test was used to compare the distributions.
