Heterogeneity among Replicate Experiments

<p>For each level of complexity (number of competitors) we determined the mean coefficient of variation of three replicate experiments. The number of experiments performed for each experimental group and each combination of competitors can be found in <a href="http://www.plosgenetics.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pgen.0020103#pgen-0020103-t001" target="_blank">Table 1</a>. Error bars indicate the standard deviation of 100 bootstrap values obtained by resampling experiments (and the corresponding coefficient of variation).
