+Phylogenetic Analysis by Maximum Likelihood (PAML)
+
+PAML is a program package for phylogenetic analyses of DNA or protein
+sequences using maximum likelihood, and is maintained and distributed
+by Ziheng Yang.
+
+Possible uses of the programs are:
+- Estimation of branch lengths in a phylogenetic tree and parameters
+ in the evolutionary model such as the transition/transversion rate
+ ratio, the shape parameter of the gamma distribution for variable
+ evolutionary rates among sites, and rate parameters for different
+ genes;
+- Test of hypotheses concerning sequence evolution, such as rate
+ constancy and independence among nucleotide or amino acid sites, rate
+ constancy among lineages (the molecular clock), and homogeneity of
+ evolutionary process in multiple genes;
+- Calculation of substitution rates at sites;
+- Reconstruction of ancestral nucleotide or amino acid sequences;
+- Simulation of nucleotide, codon, and amino acid sequence data sets;
+- Phylogenetic tree reconstruction by maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods.
