15.3. The DNADIST program

DNADIST calculates pairwise distances between sequences, taking into account (for DNA) transitions and transversions. NB: There are four different methods for doing this in DNADIST!

$ dnadist

PHYLIP version 3.5c - running DNADIST

Input file name (* DNADIST.DAT *) ? : rna.phy
