Stochastic traits of molecular evolution--acceptance of point mutations in native actin genes.

Journal of theoretical biology - 5 Apr 1990

Schöniger M, Hofacker G L, Borstnik B

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 M...
