According to the examples in this webpage ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tajima’s_D ), it seems that pairwise difference between any two sequence pair never exceeds the number of segregating sites. How could their difference lead to a positive d, which results in positive tajima D? The example can look like this:
>sequence1: TTTTT
>sequence2: ATTGT
>sequence3: ATTGT
segregating sites: 2
average pairwise difference: (2+2+0)/3=4/3
Thanks a lot!
