Please enter your coding sequence — Instructions
KEY
Number of synonymous and nonsynonymous variants (S) and (N). Length: The length of the coding sequence.SS: Total number of putative synonymous sites.
NSS: Total number of putative nonsynonymous sites.
dS: The number of synonymous variants/total synonymous sites (S/SS).
dN: The number of nonsynonymous variants/total nonsynonymous sites (N/NSS).
dN/dS: The ratio of S/SS and N/NSS for the given sequence.
INSTRUCTIONS
- This tool allows calculation of dN/dS for a DNA sequence given variant counts, and it also calculates the total number of putative synonymous and nonsynonymous sites for any sequence.
- Please enter coding sequence. The input sequence should be continuous DNA coding sequence, e.g. reference.
- Enter N and S values. For example, N and S values can be obtained by the observed synonymous and nonsynonymous variants from sequencing results of large-scale sequencing projects. For total putative sites results only, enter 0 for N and S.
- Submit for results.
- The output results are SS, NSS, dS, dN and dN/dS.
