MoleRate: comparing molecular relative evolutionary rates to detect convergent evolution.

Abstract excerpt

In comparative evolutionary genomics, faster or slower evolution of a particular gene, site, or branch in a phylogenetic tree, when compared to the appropriate average, has been interpreted as evidence of conservation, functional importance, or adaptation. With large consortia generating hundreds of genomes, there is an opportunity to interrogate these datasets for evidence of accelerated or reduced evolutionary...
