Model:nnnnnabcnnnnn nnnnnab’cnnnnn: Rate λ(a,b,b’,c)
Proposition:The process is reversible, with a stationary distribution that has a (first order) Markov structure, iff λ can be written as
λ(a,b,b’,c) = exp [ φ(a,b’,c) + Ψ(a,b,b’,c) ]
with Ψ symmetric in b and b’.

Model: Rates depend on both neighbouring nucleotidesDouble mutations forbidden
Inference: “sliding window” approximation

Model: Rates depend on both neighbouring nucleotidesDouble mutations forbidden
Inference: Bayesian MCMCDiscretized time; one mutation per time-slice

Discussion
Context dependent effects: Should We Bother?
Yes:
CpG effects are real, and strong (15 x mean background)
CpG mutations are implicated in genetic disorders
Cause of mutational inhomogeneity, particularly at short distances
Possibly most clock-like signal we have for mammals?
No:
Inclusion complicates model tremendously
Makes very small difference in likelihood: don’t bother for alignments!
Does it influence gene finding; motif evolution; phylogenetic inferences?
