In 2008, Hobolth described an algorithm for sampling paths in models of DNA sequence evolution with neighbor dependence. We show that this algorithm fails to sample the desired target distribution, and provide a simple Metropolis acceptance step correction. We also compare to a simpler Metropolis proposal, which appears to be more efficient and which we recommend instead. We demonstrate the impact of the correction on a parameter estimation problem studied in the original paper.
