Figure 2From: The relationship between the error catastrophe, survival of the flattest, and natural selectionHamming class fraction vs the selection coefficient (s). The amplification factors of the master sequence, i.e. the zero Hamming class, is Am = 10, and that of every other Hamming class Hi is Ai = 2. The degradation factor is the same for all the Hamming classes and is D = 1. The sequence length is ν = 20. The selection coefficient is evaluated following equation 6, that is to say considering the mutant phenotype as a whole, not taking into account that it is composed by Hamming classes.Back to article page
