Molecular evolution aims to characterize the mechanisms at work in the evolution of sequences, governed by a stochastic process whose main components are mutation, selection and genetic drift. In the long term, this stochastic process results in a history of substitution events along species trees, inducing complex patterns of molecular divergence between species. By analysing them, phylogenetic codon models aim at capturing the intrinsic parameters of evolution. In this context, this thesis has been focused on phylogenetic codon models, and on modelling the interplay between mutation, selection and drift shaping protein-coding DNA sequences. Because the composition of protein-coding DNA sequences does not reflect the underlying mutational ...
