The program automatically assigns the corresponding +codon sequence even if the input DNA sequence has mismatches with the +input protein sequence, or contains UTRs,polyA tails. It can also deal +with frame shifts in the input alignment, which is suitable for the +analysis of pseudogenes. + +The resulting codon-based DNA alignment can further be subjected to the +calculation of synonymous (Ks) and non-synonymous (Ka) substitution +rates. + +If you use PAL2NAL, please cite the following paper: + +Mikita Suyama, David Torrents, and Peer Bork (2006) +PAL2NAL: robust conversion of protein sequence alignment into the +corresponding codon alignments.
