DNADIST

DNADIST. This program uses nucleotide sequences to compute a distance matrix, under three  different models of nucleotide substitution.  The distance for each pair of species estimates the total branch length between the two species,  and  can be  used in the distance matrix programs FITCH, KITSCH or NEIGHBOR.  This is an alternative to use of the  sequence  data  itself  in  the  maximum  likelihood program DNAML or the parsimony program DNAPARS.when it is not known in advance which ones are which.
