MtOrt: an empirical mitochondrial amino acid substitution model for evolutionary studies of Orthoptera insects

Abstract Background Amino acid substitution models play an important role in inferring phylogenies from proteins. Although different amino acid substitution models have been proposed, only a few were estimated from mitochondrial protein sequences for specific taxa such as the mtArt model for Arthrop...
