Hi all,

I am working on DNA barcoding of Dalbergia  in India. Currently, I am analysing the different loci using MEGA 5. My question is while constructing NJ tree which option should I select, uncorrected p-distance or kimura-2-parameter? I have seen papers using either of them and I also read that there is no considerable difference in output. Can anybody help me to understand both the parameters correctly?

Thanks in anticipation

 

Best regards

Hmmmm.....good question. Please tell me you solved this problem and what did you conclude?

 

I am clear on when to use Maximam likelihood, NJ and Minimum evolution options but I am not sure about Kimura 2. Care to share the light?

 

Thanks,

 

Fiona.
