[Bioperl-l] Ks saturation

[Roy Chaudhuri]

Hi Subarna,

These are PAML specific questions rather than anything directly related 
to BioPerl (since BioPerl is just acting as a wrapper around codeml), so 
it would be better to ask your question here:
https://www.ucl.ac.uk/discussions/viewforum.php?f=54

Cheers,
Roy.
