Branch Mutation Rates and Selection Give Insights on Gene Family Trees: N-methyltransferases, FAD2 Enzymes and Terpenes
Gene trees enable the detailed study of the evolution of genes. These trees can be additive, based purely on mutational counts, or ultrametric, where the branches represent the time elapsed. The purpose of this thesis will be to relate evolutionary rate changes to gene function by examining the ef...
