Presets

The more two DNA sequences differ, the longer ago they shared an ancestor. But raw differences undercount, because a site can mutate more than once. The Jukes–Cantor correction inflates the raw distance to estimate the true number of substitutions per site. Educational tool.

Governing equation

Reading this result: About 15.0% of sites differ, and the Jukes–Cantor correction inflates that to 0.167 substitutions per site to account for hidden multiple hits.

About this simulation

The full Phylogenetic Distance tool models a species migration with the same numerics engineers and scientists use — running entirely client-side. Change any parameter and the result updates in real time, so you can build intuition, check a design, or teach the concept without spreadsheets or installs.

Frequently asked questions

How do I simulate a species migration?
Open this page and use the live Phylogenetic Distance tool below — set your inputs and the simulation runs instantly in your browser using real numerics. No install, no account needed.
Is it free?
Yes. The simulation runs free in your browser. A one-time unlock or a Pro plan adds advanced parameters, saved presets, data import, and clean exports.
Can I use my own numbers?
Absolutely — every input is adjustable, and with data import you can drive a species migration from your own measurements.
