A simple mathematical method is developed to estimate the number of
nucleotide substitutions per site between two DNA sequences, by extending
Kimura's (1980) two-parameter method to the case where a G+C- content bias
exists. This method will be useful when there are strong
transition-transversion and G+C-content biases, as in the case of
Drosophila mitochondrial DNA.
