The embedding problem for Kimura nucleotide substitution models

Jordi Roca-Lacostena

Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain   -   jordi.roca.lacostena@upc.edu

In this poster we present the embedding problem for nucleotide substitution models from a biological and algebraic point of view. More precisely, we focus on the family of Kimura 3-parameters model and sub-models and we give a complete characterization of embeddable matrices for biological meaningful matrices.

Joint work with Jesús Fernández-Sánchez (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain) and Marta Casanellas (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain).
