Jukes-Cantor Model Transition Probability applet

Written by Paul O. Lewis (4-Feb-2020)

One sequence of length 500 (50 sites/row, 10 rows) starts either with all A at time 0. Use the slider to see the sequence at different times. If a site never experiences any substitution, As will remain red, so a black A means that the original A has changed to something else and then back again. Uncheck the box to start with all not-A. Regardless of the starting state, the proportion of A approaches 1/4 given a sufficient number of substitutions.
