Description: MSA2dist calculates pairwise distances between all
        sequences of a DNAStringSet or a AAStringSet using a custom
        score matrix and conducts codon based analysis. It uses scoring
        matrices to be used in these pairwise distance calculations
        which can be adapted to any scoring for DNA or AA characters.
        E.g. by using literal distances MSA2dist calculates pairwise
        IUPAC distances. DNAStringSet alignments can be analysed as
        codon alignments to look for synonymous and nonsynonymous
        substitutions (dN/dS) in a parallelised fashion using a variety
        of substitution models. Non-aligned coding sequences can be
        directly used to construct pairwise codon alignments
        (global/local) and calculate dN/dS without any external
        dependencies. In addition, MSA2dist provides population genetic
        analyses, including the calculation of nucleotide divergence
        between populations (Dxy) and genetic differentiation
        statistics (FST) from aligned sequence data.
