Abstract excerpt
The evolution of DNA base composition evolution is simplified to a six-parameter model when there are no strand biases for mutation and selection. We analyzed the dynamics of this model with special attention to the influence of a change in substitution rates. The G + C content of the DNA sequence tends to an equilibrium value that is controlled by four parameters of the model. When the substitution rates are not...
