Abstract
We present three hierarchies of Lie Markov models of DNA sequence evolution. These models are
(locally) “multiplicatively closed,” meaning that the composition of two Markov matrices in the
model results, with some (rare) exceptions, in a third Markov matrix that is still in the model.
Additionally, the models in each hierarchy respectively distinguish between (i) purines and pyrimadines
(RY), (ii) Watson-Crick pairs (WS), and (iii) amino/keto pairs (MK), but otherwise treat
the four nucleotides without distinction. The multiplicative closure property allows mathematically
consistent modeling of time-inhomogeneous scenarios, unlike models that are not closed, such
as the general time-reversible model (GTR) and many of its submodels. We derive the nesting
relationships of the three model hierarchies and present software implementing the models. For a
diverse range of biological data sets, we perform Bayesian information criterion model comparision
analogous to that of the ModelTest framework. We find that our models outperform the GTR
model in some (but not all) cases.
