An improved method for determining codon variability in a gene and its application to the rate of fixation of mutations in evolution
Walter M. Fitch,Etan Markowitz +1 more
TL;DR: It is found that for 29 species of cytochrome c the data fit the assumption that there is a group of approximately 32 invariant codons and that the remainder compose two Poisson-distributed groups of size 65 and 16 codons, the latter smaller group fixing mutations at about 3.2 times the rate of the larger.
Journal ArticleDOI
Estimation and testing goodness-of-fit for some models of codon fixation variability.
TL;DR: Three models of codon fixation variability are formulated and maximum likelihood estimates of the parameters and tests of goodness-of-fit are given for each model.
