    Analyzing protein-coding regions reveals that non-homogeneous models significantly improve codon preference fitting compared to homogeneous Markov sources. This enhances species phylogeny and substitution rate estimations.

    Area of Science:

    • Bioinformatics
    • Computational Biology
    • Genomics

    Background:

    • Understanding codon usage bias is crucial for analyzing protein-coding regions.
    • Previous models often assumed spatial homogeneity in sequence data, which may not accurately reflect biological reality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the stochastic complexity of protein-coding regions.
    • To compare the effectiveness of homogeneous versus non-homogeneous models in fitting codon preference.
    • To discuss implications for phylogenetic and substitution rate analyses.

    Main Methods:

    • Stochastic complexity analysis of a database containing 365 protein-coding regions.
    • Modeling primary sequence data using spatially homogeneous Markov sources.
    • Modeling primary sequence data using non-homogeneous models.

    Main Results:

    • A spatially homogeneous Markov source model showed a poor fit to observed codon preference.
    • A non-homogeneous model demonstrated a substantial improvement in fitting codon preference.
    • The findings suggest limitations in applying homogeneous models to biological sequence data.

    Conclusions:

    • Non-homogeneous models are more effective for analyzing codon preference in protein-coding regions.
    • Improved codon preference modeling has implications for accurate species phylogeny estimation.
    • The study highlights the importance of model selection in evolutionary and genomic analyses.
