BN-BS – Estimation of Synonymous and Nonsynonymous Branch Lengths from Pairwise Distances

BN-BS

:: DESCRIPTION

BN-BS is a software to estimate branch lengths in terms of synonymous and nonsynonymous substitutions per site, while the tree topology is given. The program uses the modified Nei-Gojobori method (Zhang et al. 1998) to estimate pairwise synonymous and nonsynonymous distances among present-sequences and then estimates branch lengths and their variances by using the ordinary least-squares method.
