**Mothur Overview**

Mothur_, initiated by Dr. Patrick Schloss and his software development team
in the Department of Microbiology and Immunology at The University of Michigan,
provides bioinformatics for the microbial ecology community.

**Command Documenation**

The dist.seqs_ command will calculate uncorrected pairwise distances between aligned sequences.  The command will generate a column-formatted_distance_matrix_ that is compatible with the column option in the read.dist command. The command is also able to generate a phylip-formatted_distance_matrix_. There are several options for how to handle gap comparisons and terminal gaps.
