Surprised to learn that good old paramecium, the lively slipper-like infusorians we used to look at in middle school, are quite closely related to porphyra red algae. Both groups are in the clade Diaphoretickes. This was not understood until 2008, when had made the shift to genetic methods.

I wonder if someone out there can help me. Say for instance you had two cladistic matrices in nexus file format. They are of identical dimensions and for the most part are identical but one has a few cell changes. Suppose I want to find what those changes are. Is there a program that will highlight where the differences lie?
