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

[Jason Stajich]

they make no assumption about coding sequence,where do you get that  
impression.  the ka,ks are for coding but the tamura/nei kimura,  
jukes-cantor are all for any type of sequence.

the phylip and emboss are pretty straightforward IMHO - you give it  
an alignment and you get out a matrix of pairwise numbers....
\
but whatever makes sense to you - we are using the same methods as  
are in Li's book (that is where I took the equations from).
