Abstract excerpt
Substitutions between closely related noncoding chloroplast DNA sequences are studied with respect to the composition of the 3 bases on each side of the substitution, that is the hexanucleotide context. There is about 100-fold variation in rate, among the contexts, particularly on substitutions of A and T. Rate heterogeneity of transitions differs from that of transversions, resulting in a more than 200-fold...
