Accurate estimates of genetic difference are required for research in evolutionary biology. Here we extend the Kimura two-parameter (K2P) model by considering gaps (insertions and/or deletions) and introduce a new measure for estimating genetic difference between two nucleotide sequences in terms of nucleotide changes that have occurred during the evolutionary process. Using the nuclear ribosomal...
