Figure 2

Comparison of the GQG distribution with the data obtained from the study [7] for protein sequences with less than 100 PAM sequence divergence. The parameters of the GQG disribution are set to the default c = 3 and t = PAM 50. These values were chosen simply because they seemed reasonable, not to maximize the fit of the curve to the data. The striking fit indicates that our scaling of the QG distribution is appropriate to model indels at lower levels of sequence divergence.
