RASER 2.0 – The RAte Shift EstimatoR

RASER 2.0

:: DESCRIPTION

RASER is a likelihood based method for testing and detecting site-specific evolutionary rate shifts.
Given a multiple sequence alignment (MSA) and a phylogenetic tree, the program determines:
(a) Whether or not site-specific rate shifts characterize the evolution of a protein, and
(b) If so, points to the specific sites and lineages in which these shifts have most likely occurred.
