Proportion of various causal mutations as a function of the microsatellite threshold for (A) mono-, (B) di-, (C) tri-, and (D) tetranucleotide births; and (E) mono-, (F) di-, (G) tri-, and (H) tetranucleotide deaths. Dashed lines indicate 95% bootstrap confidence intervals that were computed for each threshold by re-sampling the genome-wide set of microsatellite loci with replacement.
