Sumario:Motivated by phylogenetics, our aim is to obtain a system of equations that de ne a phylogenetic variety on an open set containing the biologically meaningful points. In this paper we consider phylogenetic varieties de ned via group-based models. For any nite abelian group G, we provide an explicit construction of codimX phylogenetic invariants (polynomial equations) of degree at most jGj that de ne the variety X on a Zariski open set U. The set U contains all biologically meaningful points when G is the group of the Kimura 3-parameter model. In particular, our main result con rms [Mic12, Conjecture 7.9] and, on the set U, Conjectures 29 and 30 of [SS05].
