Methods for selecting fixed-effect models for heterogeneous codon evolution, with comments on their application to gene and genome data
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Models of codon evolution have proven useful for investigating the strength and direction of natural selection. In some cases, <it>a priori </it>biological knowledge has been used successfully to model heterogeneous evolu...
