Analytical expression of the purine/pyrimidine autocorrelation function after and before random mutations.

Mathematical biosciences - 1 Sept 1994

Abstract excerpt

The mutation process is a classical evolutionary genetic process. The type of mutations studied here is the random substitutions of a purine base R (adenine or guanine) by a pyrimidine base Y (cytosine or thymine) and reciprocally (transversions). The analytical expressions derived allow us to an...
