CoMap

Description

comap website  

CoMap implements evolution-based detection of co-evolving positions in a molecule.

CoMap performs the following tasks:

• Compute probabilistic substitution maps
• Test for pairs/groups of sites that do not evolve independently

Required Modules

Serial

• comap

System Variables

• HPC_{{#uppercase:comap}}_DIR
