(A) Numbers and direction of the different types of substitutions detected in the three lineages of human, mouse, and dog assuming an unrooted tree. (B,C,D) Relative rates of GC minus AT substitutions in CODs, intronic CNGs, and intergenic CNGs in human (B), mouse (C), and dog (D). Note the excess of GC to AT substitutions in human CODs.
