  1. aExpected nucleotide distribution.
  2. bNucleotide bias, as information content measured in bits: .
  3. cMean ± twice the standard error of the estimate.
  4. df = 0:0 for these simulations with the HKY model. With f = 0:0, the HKY+gwF variant is reduced in these simulations to its more standard F81 based model.
  5. eThe heterogeneous sequences in these simulations were of length 9,999, rather than 10,000, since the latter is not a multiple of 3.
