Change of Affiliations

The author changed the institution and the original two affiliations should be removed. The correct affiliation appears below:

Department of Biological Sciences, University of Toronto Scarborough, 1265 Military Trail, Toronto, ON M1C 1A4, Canada

Error in Equation

Two terms were accidentally swapped in Formula (23). A correction has been made to Section 4.4 “Substitutions, Deletions and Insertions”, Formula (23):

$$s_k=\left\{\begin{array}{cc}1\hfill & \mathrm{if} 0\le k<\gamma ,\hfill \\ 1-{(1-\delta )}^{\gamma -1}{q}^{\gamma }\hfill & \mathrm{if} k=\gamma ,\hfill \\ 1-{(1-\delta )}^{\gamma -1}{q}^{\gamma }\left(\frac{1-r\tilde{r}}{1-r}+p+q\delta \right)\hfill & \mathrm{if} k=\gamma +1,\hfill \\ (1+\tilde{r}-r)·s_{k-1}-(\tilde{r}-r)·s_{k-2}\hfill & \\ -\delta q^{\gamma }{(1-\delta )}^{\gamma -1}·s_{k-\gamma }\hfill & \mathrm{if} k>\gamma +1.\hfill \\ +q^{\gamma }{(1-\delta )}^{\gamma -1}\left(\delta (p+\tilde{r})-p-r\frac{1-\tilde{r}}{1-r}\right)·s_{k-\gamma -1}\hfill & \\ +p{q}^{\gamma }{(1-\delta )}^{\gamma }\frac{\tilde{r}-r}{1-r}·s_{k-\gamma -2}\hfill & \end{array}\right.$$
