Variation in DNA substitution rates among lineages erroneously inferred from simulated clock-like data.

PloS one - 11 Mar 2010

Schwartz Rachel S, Mueller Rachel Lockridge

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The observation of variation in substitution rates among lineages has led to (1) a general rejection of the molecular clock model, and (2) the suggestion that a number of biological characteristics of organisms can cause rate variation. Accurate estimates of rate variation, and thus accurate inferences regarding the causes of rate variation, depend on accurate estimates of substitution rates. However,...
