Abstract excerpt
A maximum likelihood framework for estimating site-specific substitution rates is presented that does not require any prior assumptions about the rate distribution. We show that, when the branching pattern of the underlying tree is known, the analysis of pairs of positions is sufficient to estimate site-specific rates. In the abscense of a known topology, we introduce an iterative procedure to estimate...
