Why time matters: codon evolution and the temporal dynamics of dN/dS.

Molecular biology and evolution - 1 Jan 2014

Mugal Carina F, Wolf Jochen B W, Kaj Ingemar

Abstract excerpt

The ratio of divergence at nonsynonymous and synonymous sites, dN/dS, is a widely used measure in evolutionary genetic studies to investigate the extent to which selection modulates gene sequence evolution. Originally tailored to codon sequences of distantly related lineages, dN/dS represents the ratio of fixed nonsynonymous to synonymous differences. The impact of ancestral and lineage-specific polymorphisms on...
