Table 4.

Duration of distance calculation. Duration of the distance calculation step for two variants of the pattern-based method (dPB-ML, dPB-SIM). We present the time (measured in seconds) averaged over 100 sets of sequences in any given reference set (sets with the lowest/ highest phylogenetic distances from the synthetic data sets are used) encoded using two alphabets A. The hardware consisted of a 64-bit 2.4-GHz x86-compatible Intel processor.
