Relationship between the total number of beneficial mutations and the structural fluctuations. The error bars of the y-axis represent the standard errors of the Hamming distance (structural fluctuation) (n = 1000). The error bars of the x-axes represent the standard error of the total number of beneficial mutations for genotypes 01, 34, and 50 (n = 3).
