Analysis of coxL and 16S rRNA across a succession gradient on Kilauea Volcano

Question 1

Dear Pat and collaborators,

Congratulations on this nice piece of software! I have tried using Mothur for converting my sequence alignment into distances with a view to generate clusters based on those distances. However, calling dist.seqs(fasta=myfile.fas) produces files with all distances = 1. Naturally, my alignment contains similar sequences and I expected the distances to be less than 3%.

Do you know what may be going wrong?

Thanks for your help & Best wishes
