Improving Evolutionary Models for Mitochondrial Protein Data with Site-Class Specific Amino Acid Exchangeability Matrices
Dunn, Katherine A., Wenyi Jiang, Christopher Field, and Joseph P. Bielawski. 2013. "Improving Evolutionary Models for Mitochondrial Protein Data with Site-Class Specific Amino Acid Exchangeability Matrices." Plos One 8(1): 55816-e55816.Adequate modeling of mitochondrial sequence evolution is an essential component of mitochondrial phylogenomics (comparative mitogenomics). There is wide recognition within the field that lineage-specific aspects of ... -
Methods for selecting fixed-effect models for heterogeneous codon evolution, with comments on their application to gene and genome data
Bao, Le, Hong Gu, Katherine A. Dunn, and Joseph P. Bielawski. 2007. "Methods for selecting fixed-effect models for heterogeneous codon evolution, with comments on their application to gene and genome data." Bmc Evolutionary Biology 7: 5-S5.Background: Models of codon evolution have proven useful for investigating the strength and direction of natural selection. In some cases, a priori biological knowledge has been used successfully to model heterogeneous ... -
