摘要

Traditional approaches for phylogenetic analysis require a multiple alignment and therefore are not directly applicable to complete genomes, besides, all of these methods assume some sort of an evolutionary model which may not always be correct. We propose a new sequence distance based on the relative information between the sequences using discrimination measure. By making use of the obtained distance matrix, we construct a phylogenic tree for eutherians using the mitochondrial proteins. The examination of topology belong to 20 species illustrates the utility of our approach.
