JC69 model (Jukes-Cantor, 69)

The Jukes-Cantor model assumes equal base frequencies and equal mutation rates, therefore it does not have any free parameter. $\pi_i = \frac{1}{4} \ quad \forall i, \quad
\alpha_{ij} = 1.0 \quad \forall i, \forall j \neq i$

Table 2.1: JC69 transition matrix
\begin{table}{\large\begin{displaymath}
Q = m_r \times \left(
\begin{array}{cccc...

T & 0.25 & 0.25 & 0.25 & * \\
\end{array}\right)
\end{displaymath}}\end{table}
