| A | T | G | C | - | ||
| 1st Passage | A | 98.99% | 0.24% | 0.18% | 0.12% | 0.47% |
| T | 0.20% | 98.78% | 0.35% | 0.28% | 0.40% | |
| G | 0.47% | 0.08% | 99.18% | 0.06% | 0.22% | |
| C | 0.10% | 0.67% | 0.05% | 98.97% | 0.21% | |

The source nucleotide is represented along the rows. The destination nucleotide is represented along the columns. To interpret the measure at 1st passage G/10th passage A, one could say there is a 0.47% probability that a G in the first passage will become an A at the 10th passage, P(A in 10th passage ∣ G in 1st passage) = 0.47%. Transition frequencies have been highlighted in bold. Because the table contains conditional probabilities, i.e. not marginal probabilities, the percentages in each row will sum to 100%, but the percentages down each column may not.
