PAL2NAL is a program that converts a multiple sequence alignment of
|
|
proteins and the corresponding DNA (or mRNA) sequences into a codon-
|
|
based DNA alignment. The program automatically assigns the corresponding
|
|
codon sequence even if the input DNA sequence has mismatches with the
|
|
input protein sequence, or contains UTRs,polyA tails. It can also deal
|
|
with frame shifts in the input alignment, which is suitable for the
|
|
analysis of pseudogenes.
|
|
|
|
The resulting codon-based DNA alignment can further be subjected to the
|
|
calculation of synonymous (Ks) and non-synonymous (Ka) substitution
|
|
rates.
