The direction of evolution can estimate based on the variation among nonsynonymous to synonymous substitution. The simulative study investigated the nucleotide sequence of closely related strains of respiratory syndrome viruses, codon-by-codon with maximum likelihood analysis, z selection, and the divergence time. The simulated results, dN/dS > 1 signify that an entire substitution model tends towards the hypothesis's positive evolution. The effect of transition/transversion proportion, Z-test of selection, and the evolution associated with these respiratory syndromes, are also analyzed. Z-test of selection for neutral and positive evolution indicates lower to positive values of dN-dS (0.012, 0.019) due to multiple substitutions in a short span. Modified Nei-Gojobori (P) statistical technique results also favor multiple substitutions with the transition/transversion rate from 1 to 7. The divergence time analysis also supports the result of dN/dS and imparts substantiating proof of evolution. Results conclude that a positive evolution model, higher dN-dS, and transition/transversion ratio significantly analyzes the evolution trend of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus, and Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus.

Nucleotide and amino acid substitution pattern in vif gene of the Korean clade of HIV-1 isolated from Koreans were analyzed using consensus sequences. At nucleotide level, transition/transversion substitution ratio was 1.88, and nonsynonymous/synonymous substitution ratio was 2.67, suggesting a divergent evolution in the Korean clade. At amino acid level, there were 17 substitutions and $G{\rightarrow}E$ substitution at position 37 may be responsible for change in predicted secondary structure.

Plant tissue culture is a technique that has invariably been used for various purposes such as obtaining transgenic plants for crop improvement or functional analysis of genes. However, this process can be associated with a variety of genetic and epigenetic instabilities in regenerated plants, termed as somaclonal variation. In this study, we investigated mutation spectrum, chromosomal distributions of nucleotide substitution types of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and insertions/deletions (InDels) by whole genome re-sequencing between Dongjin and Nipponbare along with regenerated plants of Dongjin from different induction periods. Results indicated that molecular spectrum of mutations in regenerated rice against Dongjin genome ranged from $9.14{\times}10^{-5}$ to $1.37{\times}10^{-4}$ during one- to three-month callus inductions, while natural mutation rate between Dongjin and Nipponbare genomes was $6.97{\times}10^{-4}$. Non-random chromosome distribution of SNP and InDel was observed in both regenerants and Dongjin genomes, with the highest densities on chromosome 11. The transition to transversion ratio was 2.25 in common SNPs of regenerants against Dongjin genome with the highest C/T transition frequency, which was similar to that of Dongjin against Nipponbare genome.
