Is that a similar process to the one described by Benedetto et al in "Language Trees and Zipping"?

It looks very similar. I remember from the hardcopy article I read that they claimed that when the DNA structure of the SARS virus became available, it took them less than a week to find out its family tree using this technique. It took the molecular biologists roughly three months. But we're getting a bit off-topic here 8-)

Nature abhors dimensional abnormalities, and seals them neatly away so that they don't upset people. Nature, in fact, abhors a lot of things, including vacuums, ships called the "Marie Celeste", and the chuck keys for electric drills.
