Fraction of reconstructible genes. Cumulative histogram plotting a percentage of genes (x-axis) against the percentage of chromosomes for which at least that many genes can be reconstructed. When k = 1000, nearly all chromosomes have all their genes completely reconstructed. When k = 25, the number of reconstructible genes falls off quicker, but many genes can still be reconstructed: 90% or more of the genes can be reconstructed in 89% of the chromosomes when k = 25.
