Figure 4

Evaluating the position of the most recent duplication Each of the three curves evaluates the cost of a duplication of length 33 at position p along the sequence of tape measure genes. The two top curves, obtained by independently computing the distances using the two orthologous sequences of Figure 1, do not even agree on positions where minimum cost occur. The bottom curve combines the information of the two sequences by discriminating between “recent” mutations, and mutations that occurred before the speciation event.
