Results, recent recombination event with a distant relative. Summary of results for 200 strains which have undergone recent recombination with strains to which they are distantly related. Sites 501–700 have been obtained through recombination. The results are shown for three different heights of evolutionary trees (0.1, 0.3, 0.6, measured as the expected number of substitutions from the root to a leaf in a tree). For each tree height, two plots are shown: the upper plot shows a histogram of the inferred breakpoint locations, the lower plot shows five percentiles for the probabilities of the left-side origin given by the inferred marginal probability profiles (dotted line: 0th and 100th percentile, thin solid blue line: 5th and 95th percentile, thick blue line: 50th percentile). The solid red line shows one particular marginal probability profile. This profile is the one deviating most (in mean squared error sense) from the 'correct' profile, which in this particular case would assign probability unity for the left-side origin in sites 1–500 and probability 0 in sites 501–700. The total numbers of inferred breakpoints for different tree heights are shown in the titles of the respective plots (#bb). The x-axis coordinates shown below the lowest plot specify the location along the gene in any of the plots.
