Comparison among the simulated transcription gels in different times:

<p>a) Template D167. b) Template D387. Each column represents the reaction time for that simulation. The intensity of the bands is proportional to the amount of produced transcripts of that length in the allowed time. The experimental results shown here are graphical reproductions of the gels presented in the experimental work of Bai and Wang <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0057328#pone.0057328-Bai3" target="_blank">[23]</a>. The experimentally observed bands are indicated with their respective transcript size. Some false positives present in the <i>SRA</i> appear less intense in the <i>MRA</i>. For the single-round and the multi-round elongation: some bands appear earlier in <i>MRA</i> than in <i>SRA</i> and the predicted intensities are different for most bands.
