Does it make sense to calculate genetic barcode distances using e.g. K2P model?

21 November 2024 0 10K Report

Does it make sense to calculate genetic barcode distances using, for example, the K2P model (implemented e.g. in MEGA X)? For me barcode distances have always been merely the number of different nucleotid bases (in %, p-distance), regardless which amino acids they code for.
