On transition bias in mitochondrial genes of pocket gophers.

Journal of molecular evolution - 1 Jul 1996

Xia X, Hafner M S, Sudman P D

Abstract excerpt

The relative contribution of mutation and purifying selection to transition bias has not been quantitatively assessed in mitochondrial protein genes. The observed transition/transversion (s/v) ratio is (micros Ps)/(microv Pv), where micros and microv denote mutation rate of transitions and transv...
