For example, if nucleotide a is the preferred nucleotide at that site and it is preferred at an equal strength γfunc over all other nucleotides, whereas mutations between each two unpreferred nucleotides are selectively neutral, then: γ i, a) = γfunc = − γ a, i) for all i ≠ a and γ i, j) = 0 for all i, j ≠ a.
