Results, old recombination event affecting all strains in a population. Summary of results for 200 strains belonging to a population whose all members have a recombined fragment from another population. Sites 501–700 have been obtained through recombination. See Figure 6 for the interpretation of the figure. Because the two populations now share the same fragment, the sites 501–700 could be assigned to either one of the possible populations. For this reason, also the probabilities assigned to the other possible right-side origin are shown (the third plot for each tree height), similarly to the probabilities assigned to the left-side origin (the second plot). In this case the 'correct' marginal probability profile would assign probability unity for the left-side origin in sites 1–500 and probability 0.5 in sites 501–700. The alternative right-side origin would be assigned in the 'correct' marginal probability profile probability zero in sites 1–500, and also probability 0.5 in sites 501–700. Similarly, the 'correct' optimal model profile would assign the sites 501–700 to either of the two populations. Notice that the y-scale of the histogram plots is different from other result Figures (6, 7, 9 and 10).
