Limitations of sequence dissimilarity as a predictor of prokaryotic lineage

The molecular clock rests upon the assumption that the observed changes among sequences capture the differentiation of lineages, or kinship, as dissimilarity increases with time. Although it has been questioned over the years, this paradigmatic principle continues to underlie the idea that the polym...
