Abstract excerpt
We consider the substitution model T92+CpG of DNA sequence evolution which takes into account the hypermutability of CpG dinucleotides, an effect that can be especially observed in vertebrate genomes. We provide an exact method to simulate the evolution of finite DNA sequences under this model and numerical procedures to infer evolutionary times in two cases: between an ancestral and a present sequence and...
