Evaluation of the effect of CpG hypermutability on human codon substitution.

Abstract excerpt

Understanding the cause underlying the changes in amino acid composition of proteins is essential for understanding protein evolution and function. Accurate models of DNA and protein evolution are essential for studying molecular evolution. Although many models have been developed, most models assume that each site evolves independently and that substitutions are time reversible. In mammals and other organisms,...
