Phylogenetic trees reconstructed from NGS short reads of 29 mtDNA sequences using: (A) d^CDM, (B) CVTree ( k = 10), (C) ${\mathit{d}}_{\mathit{2}}^{\mathit{S}}\mathbf{(}\mathit{k}\mathbf{=}\mathbf{8}\mathbf{)}$. The short reads were simulated from the tool MetaSim using the Empirical model and 5× sampling depth. The group of three species platypus, opossum, and wallaroo was used as the outgroup to root the tree.
