PAML:Phylogenetic Analysis by Maximum Likelihood http://abacus.gene.ucl.ac.uk/ http://abacus.gene.ucl.ac.uk/software/paml.html
PAML Documentation • doc in doc/: pamlDOC.pdf, pamlFAQ.pdf, pamlHistory.txt • examples/ are provided with README files • Questions go to discussion group: http://www.rannala.org/gsf
Major weaknesses • Poor tree search • Poor user interface Major strength • Many likelihood models
What the package is being used for? • Codon models and detection of selection • Amino acid models • Ancestral sequence reconstruction • ML clock and local-clock models for dating • Combined analysis of multiple genes • Various other models
