Quantifying evolution and natural selection in vertebrate noncoding sequence

2008-01-01

Abstract excerpt

When studying genomic evolution, biologists find it important to identify varying patterns of natural selection. Many traditional methods of classifying directional selection have relied on models that categorize mutations as function-altering or neutral, and then comparing the rates of the two categories of mutations. The most well-known methods specifically compare nonsynonymous and synonymous substitutions in p...
