On the Development of a Pipeline for the Automatic Detection of Positively Selected Sites

Conference paper
Part of the Advances in Intelligent and Soft Computing book series (AINSC, volume 154)

Abstract

In this paper we present the ADOPS (Automatic Detection Of Positively Selected Sites) software that is ideal for research projects involving the analysis of tens of genes. ADOPS is a novel software pipeline that is being implemented with the goal of providing an automatic and flexible tool for detecting positively selected sites given a set of unaligned nucleotide sequence data.
