Correcting the apparent mutation rate acceleration at shorter time scales under a Jukes-Cantor model.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Dec 2012

Tuffley Christopher, Timothy W, White J, Hendy Michael D, Penny David

Abstract excerpt

At macroevolutionary time scales, and for a constant mutation rate, there is an expected linear relationship between time and the number of inferred neutral mutations (the "molecular clock"). However, at shorter time scales, a number of recent studies have observed an apparent acceleration in the...
