A stochastic model for the evolution of autocorrelated DNA sequences.

Molecular phylogenetics and evolution - 1 Sept 1994

Schöniger M, von Haeseler A

Abstract excerpt

Currently used stochastic models of DNA sequence evolution assume independent and identically distributed nucleotide sites. They are too simple to account for dependence structures obviously present in molecular data. Up to now more realistic stochastic models for nucleotide substitutions have be...
