Improved mitochondrial amino acid substitution models for metazoan evolutionary studies

Improved mitochondrial amino acid substitution models for metazoan evolutionary studies

Abstract Background Amino acid substitution models play an essential role in inferring phylogenies from mitochondrial protein data. However, only few empirical models have been estimated from restricted mitochondrial protein data of a hundred species. The existing models are unlikely to represent ap...
