[i] Each simulation was performed using 10,000 computer-generated sequence fragments. Numbers to the right of the slash indicate results of simulations performed using overlapping pairs of windows (e.g., ‖GC − GCi − 1‖, 2 ⩽ i⩽ n). Numbers to the left of the slash indicate results of simulation using nonoverlapping window pairs (e.g., ‖GC2i − GC2i − 1‖, 2 ⩽ i⩽ n/2).
