#' @author A. Luise Kuehn <luise.kuehn@@uni-greifswald.de>
#' @description The package \code{QUIDDICH} provides tools for an automated identification of diagnostic molecular characters, i.e. such columns in a given nucleotide or amino acid alignment that allow to distinguish taxa from each other. These characters can be used to complement formal descriptions of taxa, which are often based on morphological and anatomical features. Especially for morphologically cryptic species, this is helpful. \code{QUIDDICH} distinguishes between four different types of diagnostic characters.
