Positive selection of synonymous mutations in vesicular stomatitis virus.

Abstract excerpt

Prevailing evolutionary forces are typically deduced from the pattern of differences in synonymous and non-synonymous mutations, under the assumption of neutrality in the absence of amino acid change. We determined the complete sequence of ten vesicular stomatitis virus populations evolving under positive selection. A significant number of the mutations occurred independently in two or more strains, a process...
