Why it missed

Gap characters were counted as statesThis run treated alignment gaps as character states when counting informative sites and obtained U=6397. The PhyKIT-compatible calculation treats gaps as missing and gives U=6748 on the same 241 and 255 alignments.

Why it missed

Statistic orientation errorThis run returned the opposite Mann-Whitney orientation, 55058, and counted gaps as characters. Using animals as the first group gives U=6748.
