Hello, this program is very good but it'd very helpful if it could support more differentiation analysis methods. I think especially useful would be ASD(Allele Sharing Distance), TVD(Total Variation Distance) and Est. since as far as I know no programs support these statistics currently in easy to use form.

Total Variation Difference is described here
