Mee-toooo!
I've been on the net since 1989, and it's my first "me-too" post I
believe. I'd better temper it with some information.
Would using Nei and Li's "index of similarity" to create a matrix and
then passing it through one of Phylip's programs like "neighbor" do?
If so, I wrote some C code to passage gel mobilities or fragment sizes
through Nei and Li's algorithm and construct a matrix ready for
"neighbor". I could post it (might have to re-code it for Suns,
though, they seem to prototype funny - I use SGIs & PCs) if you're
interested, and leave it up on my WWW server for posterity.
