ksrates: positioning whole-genome duplications relative to speciation events using rate-adjusted mixed paralog-ortholog KS distributions
SummaryWe present ksrates, a user-friendly command-line tool to position ancient whole-genome duplication (WGD) events with respect to speciation events in a phylogeny by comparing paralog and ortholog KS distributions derived from genomic or transcriptomic sequences, while adjusting for substitution rate differences among the lineages involved. Availability and implementationksrates is implemented in Python 3 and as a Nextflow pipeline. The source code, Singularity and Docker containers, documentation and tutorial are available via https://github.com/VIB-PSB/ksrates. Contactsteven.maere@ugent.vib.be, rolf.lohaus@ugent.vib.be
