Evolutionary Rate Variation

Evolutionary Rate Variation is a theoretical construct in molecular evolution that characterizes the heterogeneity in the rate of sequence change across lineages, sites, or genes, distinguished by its focus on deviations from a constant molecular clock in phylogenetic analyses of microbial, protein, and viral systems.
