[Bioperl-l] distmat matrix

[Jason Stajich]

Bioperl can parse PHYLIP distance matricies, see Bio::Matrix::IO.  I  
didn't write an EMBOSS distmat result parser but that would be nice  
to have (but check that EMBOSS doesn't already allow output in phylip  
format first).

There is pure-perl distance matrix calculation of a MSA for DNA  
sequences
Bio::Align::DNAStatistics
and for protein
Bio::Align::ProteinStatistics

There is some initial discussion here on the website, but could  
certainly use some more details.
