Title
An expectation-maximization algorithm for analysis of evolution of exon-intron structure of eukaryotic genes
Abstract
We propose a detailed model of evolution of exon-intron structure of eukaryotic genes that takes into account gene-specific intron gain and loss rates, branch-specific gain and loss coefficients, invariant sites incapable of intron gain, and rate variability of both gain and loss which is gamma-distributed across sites. We develop an expectation-maximization algorithm to estimate the parameters of this model, and study its performance using simulated data.
