Identification of Differentially Evolved Genes: An Alternative Approach to Detection of Accelerated Molecular Evolution from Genome-Wide Comparative Data

One of the most important measures for detecting molecular adaptations between species/lineages at the gene level is the comparison of relative fixation rates of synonymous (dS) and non-synonymous (dN) mutations. This study shows that the branch model is sensitive to tree topology and proposes an al...
