A general model for estimating the number of amino acid substitutions per site (d) from the fraction of identical residues between two sequences (q) is proposed. The well-known Poisson-correction formula q = e -a corresponds to a site-independent and amino-acidindependent substitution rate. Equation

Knowledge of the pattern of nucleotide substitution is important both to our understanding of molecular sequence evolution and to reliable estimation of phylogenetic relationships. The method of parsimony analysis, which has been used to estimate substitution patterns in real sequences, has serious

The inconsistency of the maximum parsimony method is known to occur even when the rate of nucleotide substitution is constant. To understand why this inconsistency occurs, a mathematical study was conducted for the cases of five, six, and seven sequences. The results obtained indicate that this inco

Coding sequences from maize, rice, tobacco, and liverwort chloroplasts are aligned and subjected to relative rate tests. Results of rate tests suggest that coding sequences from maize and rice are evolving with homogeneous rates of nucleotide substitution while coding sequences from the grass lineag
