Abstract excerpt
The rate at which bases are replaced in mammalian DNA is influenced by the sequence involved. I have modified a multiple sequence alignment and comparison program to take account of the observed patterns of base replacement in mammals, and used the program to analyse 100 human Alu sequences. The results show that using a sequence matching matrix based on the actual rate of base replacement, as opposed to...
