SYNOPSIS
Pairwise SNP distance matrix from a FASTA alignment
USAGE
snp-dists [options] alignment.fasta[.gz] > matrix.tsv
OPTIONS
-h Show this help
-v Print version and exit
-q Quiet mode; do not print progress information
-a Count all differences not just [AGTC]
-k Keep case, don't uppercase all letters
-m Output MOLTEN instead of TSV
-c Use comma instead of tab in output
-b Blank top left corner cell

Prints the name and version separated by a space in standard Unix fashion.

By default, all letters are (1) uppercased and (2) ignored if not A,G,T or C.
Normally one would not want to count ambiguous letters and gaps as a "difference" but if you desire, you can enable this option.

You may wish to preserve case, as you may wish lower-case characters to be masked in the comparison.
