Hi Eric,

Which method is this? For Datamonkey, this value is simply raw dN-dS divided by the total length of the tree (measured in the number of expected substitutions per nucleotide per site).

Hi Sergei!
Is this normalization can be applied to dn/ds from  QuickSelectionDetection.bf output?

Hi Ksenia,

It IS applied to the output of SLAC, e.g. see Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login Login see page 64 of Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login Login
Generally you should only be asking if dN != dS with these methods, because site-wise estimates could be quite unreliable.
