Covariance of maximum likelihood evolutionary distances between sequences aligned pairwise
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The estimation of a distance between two biological sequences is a fundamental process in molecular evolution. It is usually performed by maximum likelihood (ML) on characters aligned either pairwise or jointly in a multiple sequence...
