Advantages of a mechanistic codon substitution model for evolutionary analysis of protein-coding sequences.

BACKGROUND:A mechanistic codon substitution model, in which each codon substitution rate is proportional to the product of a codon mutation rate and the average fixation probability depending on the type of amino acid replacement, has advantages over nucleotide, amino acid, and empirical codon subst...
