High correlation between the turnover of nucleotides under mutational pressure and the DNA composition
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Any DNA sequence is a result of compromise between the selection and mutation pressures exerted on it during evolution. It is difficult to estimate the relative influence of each of these pressures on the rate of accumulation of subs...
