Silent substitutions in mammalian genomes and their evolutionary implications.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Dec 1993

Bernardi G, Mouchiroud D, Gautier C

Abstract excerpt

An analysis of silent substitutions in pairwise comparisons of homologous genes from different mammals has shown that, in spite of individual fluctuations, their frequencies (which are very strongly correlated with the frequency of substitutions per synonymous site calculated according to Li et a...
