The general time reversible model (GTR) is presently the most popular model used in phylogentic studies. However, GTR has an undesirable mathematical property that is potentially of significant concern. It is the purpose of this article to give examples that demonstrate why this deficit may pose a problem for phylogenetic analysis and interpretation.
