Mixture model analysis of 2775 Tm data points for HERV-W gag amplicons. Illustration of the model constructed using mixture models analysis and determined to be optimal according to Akaikes' information criterion with 13 Tm categories. Blue line represents the stratified Tm data from the 2775 Tm data points. Red Gaussian curves show each of the component Tms, their mixing proportion and the measuring error spread (with red triangle on the base line showing the precise Tm of each category). Green line shows the summed model that is fitted to the stratified data (blue line).
