Senescence and entrenchment in evolution of amino acid sites

Amino acid propensities at sites change over evolutionary time, due to epistatically interacting sites or environmental changes. Here, the authors develop an approach to distinguish between these, and model the fitness dynamics of each, then annotate indicative sites in vertebrate and insect genomes...
