Abstract excerpt
A stochastic matrix of nucleotide mutation probabilities is derived by counting differences and identities in alignments of native actin genes, with the aim of obtaining a more reliable data base for regular modes of molecular evolution. The evolution of DNA sequences is thereby considered as a Markov process consisting of events (point mutations) characterized by a stochastic matrix for codon-codon interchanges....
