+PAL2NAL is a program that converts a multiple sequence alignment of
+proteins and the corresponding DNA (or mRNA) sequences into a codon-
+based DNA alignment. 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:
