Distance-based methods
3
Evolutionary distances for aligned sequences
We will use the Jukes Cantor model x and y are DNA/protein/RNA sequences p(x,y) is the number of mismatches in the alignment divided by the length of the alignment. This is also called the normalized Hamming distance.
4
Evolutionary distances for whole genomes
A kmer is a substring of length k We will use an approximation to Jukes Cantor x and y are whole genome sequences This method does not require sequences to be aligned.
