Impact of recombination rate (r/m) on tree inference. We evolved the core genome of 100 species with various levels of recombination rates. The tree topology score (TTS) represents the % of identical nodes between the simulated trees and the real trees. Reported TTS and r/m values on the graph represent the average values computed across the set of 100 species. Grey areas represent the standard deviation across the 100 species. Horizontal green lines represent the average (plain line) percent and standard deviation (dashed lines) of nodes expected to be identical if the trees were random
