<i>Δ</i> - <i>d</i> <sub> <i>N</i> </sub> / <i>d</i> <sub> <i>S</i> </sub> : A New Criteria to Distinguish among Different Selection Modes in Gene Evolution

2020-02-23

Abstract excerpt

One of the most widely-used measures for protein evolution is the ratio of nonsynonymous distance ( d N ) to synonymous distance ( d S ). Under the assumption that synonymous substitutions in the coding region are selectively neutral, the d N / d S ratio can be used to test the adaptive evolution if d N / d S >1 statistically significantly. However, due to selective constraints imposed on amino acid si...
