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

Environment Modules

Run module spider comap to find out what environment modules are available for this application.

System Variables

• HPC_COMAP_DIR - installation directory
