In boopsboops/spider: Species Identity and Evolution in R

Calculate Tajima's K index of divergence

Description

Calculates Tajima's K index of divergence.

Usage

tajima.K(DNAbin, prop = TRUE)

Arguments

DNAbin	An object of class ‘DNAbin’.
prop	Logical. Should the function report the number of substitutions per nucleotide? Default of TRUE.

Value

A vector of length 1. If prop = FALSE, the mean number of substitutions between any two sequences is returned. If prop = TRUE (the default), this number is returned as the mean number of substitutions per nucleotide (i.e. the above divided by the length of the sequences).
