Ideal to test predictions about selection regime shifts, especially if you have a set of rates of nucleotide substitutions for the same phylogeny to compare this to, to discard the possibility that the identified shift in rate was (at least partly) a by-product of different generation times or different DNA copy fidelity/repair mechanisms, as these affect synonymous substitution rates too. Thanks again.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02962682934890061943noreply@blogger.com
