Estimating mutation distances from unaligned genomes.

Abstract excerpt

Abstract Alignment-free distance measures are generally less accurate but more efficient than traditional alignment-based metrics. In the context of genome sequence analysis, the efficiency gain is often so substantial that it outweights the loss in accuracy. However, a further disadvantage of alignment-free distances is that their relationship to evolutionary events such as substitutions is generally unknown. We...
