Table 5 Percentage of the time that the true ancestor is a maximum (method 1) or maximal (methods 2 and 3) signature, under normally distributed inversion lengths on genomes of size n = 30. Method 1 finds a maximum signature by exhaustive search; method 2 uses the greedy Bourque-like approach; and method 3 uses the approach based on maximum sets of noninterfering inversions.
