On the inappropriate use of Kimura‐2‐parameter (K2P) divergences in the DNA‐barcoding literature
A Srivathsan, R Meier - Cladistics, 2012 - Wiley Online Library
Here we present evidence, based on 10 datasets comprising 5283 sequences for 200
genera, that the use of the Kimura‐2‐parameter (K2P) model in DNA‐barcoding studies is …
