From: Dynamics of bacterial insertion sequences: can transposition bursts help the elements persist?
The roles of burst strength δ and rate of regulation evolution γ on IS persistence. All changes in transposition events occur at the 5000th generation. Each pair of δ and γ was simulated for 1000 runs, and each simulation was run for 30,000 generations. The mean IS copy and the mean cell fitness were computed conditional on the persistence of ISs. Parameters: δ=9,99,999, and γ∈ [ 10−3.5,10−1.5]. The population is initialised with an IS distribution according to Sawyer et al. [62]. All parameter values are as given in Table 1
