Correction to parameters to reproduce Fig. 3 from Sella and Ardell (2002)

Correction to parameters to reproduce Fig. 3 from Sella and Ardell (2002)

To the world at large:

We misreported the parameters needed to reproduce Figure 3 from Sella and Ardell (2002),
“The impact of message mutation on the fitness of a genetic code.”

The correct values are: phi = 0.32768 = (0.8 ** 5, not 0.8 as reported), and mu = 0.01 (not 0.1, as reported).

To reproduce the figure, please install CMCpy available from https://pypi.org/project/CMCpy/.

To run the demo try eg:
