Recently, all the human genes were identified. But understanding the functions coded in the genes is of course a much harder problem. We are used to view DNA as some sort of a comp...
Background: Codon substitution probabilities are used in many types of molecular evolution studies such as determining Ka/Ks ratios, creating ancestral DNA sequences or aligning c...
