NAME

bp_pairwise_kaks - script to calculate pairwise Ka,Ks for a set of sequences

SYNOPSIS

bp_pairwise_kaks.PLS -i t/data/worm_fam_2785.cdna [-f fasta/genbank/embl...] [-msa tcoffee/clustal] [-kaks yn00/codeml]

DESCRIPTION

 This script will take as input a dataset of cDNA sequences verify
that they contain no stop codons, align them in protein space,
project the alignment back into cDNA and estimate the Ka
(non-synonymous) and Ks (synonymous) substitutions based on the ML
method of Yang with the PAML package.

Requires:
* bioperl-run package
* PAML program codeml or yn00
* Multiple sequence alignment programs Clustalw OR T-Coffee

Often there are specific specific parameters you want to run when you
a computing Ka/Ks ratios so consider this script a starting point and
do not rely it on for every situation.
