The redundancy built into the minimum spanning set design makes it tolerant to missing sites. The plot shows how well the Yersinia pestis minimum spanning set tolerates missing sites. The x-axis is the number of missing sites and the y-axis is the expected resolution index. Each box-plot shows the distribution of resolution values for different panels (N=50) with 1 to 20 sites randomly removed. The resolution index of the full panel is 269 and the median resolution when 20 sites are missing is 267.9 — a difference of only 1.1
