Related Articles A phenotype-genotype codon model for detecting adaptive evolution. Syst Biol. 2019 Nov 15;: Authors: Jones CT, Youssef N, Susko E, Bielawski JP Abstract A central objective in biology is to link adaptive evolution in a gene to structural and/or functional phenotypic novelties. Yet most analytic methods make inferences mainly from either phenotypic data …
