[Bioperl-l] Bio::Align::DNAStatistics ka/ks calculation bugs?

[Bingshan Li]

Thanks, Jason, for this reply and the other for Ganbank parser. For  
Yn00, can we pass a slice of alignment to it so that I can calculate  
ka/ks for sliding windows? I ran PAML as a stand alone program but  
never used it in perl script.

Thanks a lot!
