Context-Dependent Substitution Dynamics in Plastid DNA Across a Wide Range of Taxonomic Groups.
Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Feb 2022
Morton Brian R
Abstract excerpt
The influence of neighboring base composition, or context, on substitution bias at fourfold degenerate coding sites and in intergenic regions in plastid DNA is compared across the angiosperms, gymnosperms, ferns, liverworts, chlorophytes, stramenopiles and rhodophytes. An influence of flanking base G + C content on the relative rates of transitions and transversions is observed in all lineages and extends up to...
