Using equilibrium frequencies in models of sequence evolution.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The f factor is a new parameter for accommodating the influence of both the starting and ending states in the rate matrices of "generalized weighted frequencies" (+gwF) models for sequence evolution. In this study, we derive an expected value for f, starting from a nearly neutral model of weak selection, and then assess the biological interpretation of this factor with evolutionary simulations....
