[Bioperl-l] Bio::Tools::Phylo::PAML with (baseml from PAML package)

[Ryan Golhar]

Hi Jason,

It looks like DNAStatistics is only for coding sequences.  I'm trying to
calculate the Ks of exons and the K (or Ki) of introns.  All the methods
in bioperl are based on coding sequences.  Only the  PAUP package (that
I've found) does non-coding sequences.   I would have used it but you
need to pay for it and we don't have the funding to purchase much at the
moment.

I brielfy looked at PHYLIP and EMBOSS but it didn't look as
straight-forward as I was hoping it would be.  Either that, or I was
getting fustrated looking for a simple solution.  

In the end, I found a molecular evolution book that talks about several
methods used for non-coding sequences so I went ahead and implemented
them.  They seem to work well.  

Ryan

You should look at the Align::DNAStatistics module if you just want  
pairwise DNA distance.  I put in several different distance methods.   
Or you can use the distance methods implemented in PHYLIP or EMBOSS  
programs -- I thought you wanted the somewhat more sophisticated ML  
approaches that are implemented in PAML?
