✦ Synopsis

We describe a stochastic method for tracing the evolutionary pattern of multialigned sequences. This method allows us to detect gene regions with distinct evolutionary dynamics, e.g., regions that significantly deviate from the expected behavior. Accurate detection of hypervariable or hyperconstrained regions may provide useful information on the structure/function relationship of biosequences.

This information can help localize functional constraints.

In addition, the selection of distinct evolutionary dynamics may assist in the correct use of biosequences as reliable molecular clocks. CD 1s~~ Academic Press, Inc.

Communicated by Cha& I. Epstein More than 150 mutations in the genes for type I procollagein have been found in unrelated patients with osteogenesis imperfecta (01), but mutations have been difficult to define in many patients with the mildest forms of the disease. Here, we have used robotically aut
