Nov 22	comment	How can I compare rates of evolution for two sets of proteins? @terdon: if you want to compute ka/ks ratios, you need to look at the nucleotide sequences, no?
Nov 22	comment	How can I compare rates of evolution for two sets of proteins? The eggNOG database also contains alignments for protein families, but these are on the amino acid level. So you would still somehow have to go back to a nucleotide alignment, which I'm not quite sure how to do. :-/ Might be a good question to ask on BioStar with its larger bioinf audience.
Nov 22	comment	How can I compare rates of evolution for two sets of proteins? are you working on species that have already been sequenced (for which you might info in databases), or do you have novel sequencing data?

Nov 20	comment	Why do living organisms replicate itself or procreate Yes, reproduction is part of the definition of life. However, this doesn't mean that a sterile animal doesn't live.

Nov 20	comment	Multiple sequence alignment - how to align everything to 1 gene sequence? Which kind of result do you want to have? One alignment with three sequences, or two pair-wise alignments? If the former, what would you do if one of the 1000bp sequences causes a gap in the reference sequence?

Oct 19	comment	What is the difference between orthologs, paralogs and homologs? Another pet peeve: homology is qualitative, not quantitative. So saying "significant homology" or "weak homology" is just wrong.
