Heterogeneity in the substitution process of amino acid sites of proteins coded for by mitochondrial DNA.

Abstract excerpt

Several forms of maximum likelihood models are applied to aligned amino acid sequence data coded for in the mitochondrial DNA of six species (chicken, frog, human, bovine, mouse, and rat). These models range in form from relatively simple models of the type currently used for inferring phylogenetic tree structure to models more complex than those that have been used previously. No major discrepancies between the...
