:: DESCRIPTION
NewickReader is a program for producing a distance matrix from the branch lengths in a phylogenetic tree in newick format. The program reads the branch lengths of a phylogenetic tree in standard newick format, adds them up to produce the total distances between taxa within the phylogeny, and outputs a symmetrical matrix.

:: DESCRIPTION
BN-BS is a software to estimate branch lengths in terms of synonymous and nonsynonymous substitutions per site, while the tree topology is given. The program uses the modified Nei-Gojobori method (Zhang et al. 1998) to estimate pairwise synonymous and nonsynonymous distances among present-sequences and then estimates branch lengths and their variances by using the ordinary least-squares method.
