Ensemble entropy vs conditional entropy. Running the MIBP algorithm with a 2 bit cutoff yields an entropy reductions of nearly a half. For example the Chlamydomonas 5s rRNA (5s_13 in the test set) has an ensemble entropy of 49 bits, but after conditioning on the MIBPs, only 25.5 bits of uncertainty remains. Each point represents one of the sequences from one of the ten families described at the beginning of the results section
