A model of complete random molecular evolution by recurrent mutation.

Abstract excerpt

A model for random molecular evolution based on recurrent mutation is proposed. Recurrent mutation replaces completely any original base in a nucleotidic site. This occurs if more than four times the number of reproductive cycles equal to the reciprocal of the mutation rate happen; no matter the population size, the number of nucleotides a genome has, or the taxa at which it belongs. The main results are: i) the...
