Abstract excerpt
Relative-rate tests have previously been developed to compare the substitution rates of two sequences or two groups of sequences. These tests usually assume that the process of nucleotide substitution is stationary and the same for all lineages, i.e., uniform. In this study, we conducted simulations to assess the performance of the relative-rate tests when the molecular-clock (MC) hypothesis is true (i.e., there...
