From: Gene-specific selective sweeps in bacteria and archaea caused by negative frequency-dependent selection

Figure 4

Phase diagram of the parameter regions in which NFDS causes gene-specific selective sweeps. Circles indicate a gene-specific selective sweep (J rel < 0.05), whereas squares indicate genome-wide selective sweeps (J rel ≥ 0.05) for the respective values of α and r. The parameters were as follows: l n = 1,024, s e  = 0.01, s i  = 0.1 and r v  = 10− 4. (a) n = 2. The gray line shows (αr)2 τ = r, where τ was set to 10s e −1 (because \( {\uptau}_2>10{\mathrm{s}}_{\mathrm{e}}^{-1} \)). (b) n = 5.
