Abstract excerpt
Likelihood-ratio statistics are proposed to test for heterogeneity in nucleotide substitution rate among regions of a DNA sequence. The tests examine three-sequence phylogenies, and two specific tests are proposed: a test to detect rate heterogeneity among genic regions within a sequence, over all evolutionary lineages; and a test to detect rate heterogeneity among regions in a specific evolutionary lineage....
