Abstract excerpt
We assess the similarity of base substitution processes, described by empirically derived 4 x 4 matrices, using chi-square homogeneity tests. Such significance analyses allow us to assess variation in sequence evolution across sites and we apply them to matrices derived from noncoding sites in different contexts in grass chloroplast DNA. We show that there is statistically significant variation in rates and...
