The number of k-mer matches between two DNA sequences as a function of k and applications to estimate phylogenetic distances

We study the number N(k) of length-k word matches between pairs of evolutionarily related DNA sequences, as a function of k. We show that the Jukes-Cantor distance between two genome sequences—i.e. the number of substitutions per site that occurred since they evolved from their last common ancestor—...
