Analytical solutions of the dinucleotide probability after and before random mutations.

Abstract excerpt

The mutation process is a classical evolutionary genetic process mainly based on the (random) substitutions of one base (A = Adenine, C = Cytosine, G = Guanine, T = Thymine) for another. Two analytical solutions derived here allow us to analyse in genes the occurrence probabilities of motifs (e.g. dinucleotides) after substitutions (in the evolutionary sense: from the past to the present) and, unexpectedly, also...
