SUMMARY: K-Estimator 4.5 is a Windows program that estimates the number of
nucleotide substitutions per site (divergence) when comparing two aligned
nucleotide sequences, both protein-coding and non-coding. Confidence
intervals of the divergence estimates are obtained by Monte Carlo
simulation. AVAILABILITY: The program is available for non-profit use via
anonymous ftp at ftp.bio.indiana. edu/molbio/mswin. CONTACT:
