Number of unbalanced cycles (y axis), in a simulation on genomes with \(n=1000\) edges where k wDCJ operations are applied successively (k is on the x axis). The number of unbalanced cycles is computed (i) according to the theoretical bound \(k/\sqrt{n}\) (in thin), and (ii) directly from the simulated genomes (in bold)
