A model of DNA sequence evolution applicable to coding regions is
presented. This represents the first evolutionary model that accounts for
dependencies among nucleotides within a codon. The model uses the codon, as
opposed to the nucleotide, as the unit of evolution, and is parameterized
in terms of synonymous and nonsynonymous nucleotide substitution rates. One
of the model's advantages over those used in methods for estimating
synonymous and nonsynonymous substitution rates is that it completely
corrects for multiple hits at a codon, rather than taking a parsimony
approach and considering only pathways of minimum change between homologous
codons. Likelihood-ratio versions of the relative-rate test are constructed
and applied to data from the complete chloroplast DNA sequences of Oryza
sativa, Nicotiana tabacum, and Marchantia polymorpha. Results of these
tests confirm previous findings that substitution rates in the chloroplast
genome are subject to both lineage-specific and locus-specific effects.
Additionally, the new tests suggest tha the rate heterogeneity is due
primarily to differences in nonsynonymous substitution rates. Simulations
help confirm previous suggestions that silent sites are saturated, leaving
no evidence of heterogeneity in synonymous substitution rates.
