Evolutionary changes

  • DNA sequences typically change very slowly
    • e.g. 2*10-9 /base/year
  • changes are not equally likely to persist everywhere
    • some genomic regions may be mutated repeatedly while others remain unchanged.
  • nucleotide changes are not equal likely
    • Transitions (interchanges of purines (A⇔G) or of pyrimdines (C⇔T)) are more likely
    • Transversions (interchanges between purines and pyrimdines) are less likely
