Abstract: Assuming that the evolution of DNA bases frequencies is governed by a symmetric process with respect to the two DNA strands, a nice wrong model is obtained. This model is nice because it can be rejected from the sole inspection of base frequencies in DNA and its rejection, which is effective in many genomes, means that the underlying non-observable process is asymmetric.
