transversión
- Although neighboring effects in general are still important, prominent influences such as the elevated CpG transversion rate previously identified using the TF form are an artifact.
Examples
-
Specifically, the NF model does not recognize a significant context-dependent influence on transversions involving CpG dinucleotides, whereas the TF model does.

Etymology
Transversion comes from trans- 'across' and version 'turning'. In genetics, think of it as a 'turn across': one DNA 'letter' is changed to a letter from the other group, so the word fits this swap across types.
