Extended Data Fig. 2: The number of sites used in little and standard bootstrap replicates.
From: Fast and accurate bootstrap confidence limits on genome-scale phylogenies using little bootstraps
The proportion of sites included in the little bootstrap replicates for little datasets with l = L0.7 (open circles) and standard bootstrap (closed circles). The choice of l = L0.7 offers increasingly greater computational savings for longer sequences because of a decreasing proportion of sites included in the little samples. For example, the standard bootstrap replicates always contain approximately 63%30 of the site configurations from the full datasets. But, the little dataset size is ~3.1% of the original alignment for L = 100,000 bases, but it decreases to ~1.6% when L increases 10-fold (1,000,000 bases).
