Comparing the effect of removing the repetitive transposition operation on two independent runs of the Evolver primates simulation, one including and one without the operation. (A) A precision-recall plot of the predicted Cactus alignments showing the effect of altering α in powers of 2 from 4 to 8192. (B) The precision as a function of α. Note particularly the step-up in precision between α = 512 and α = 1024 for the simulation including repetitive transposition, whose alignment is not considered homologous by Evolver.
