How to calculate the pN/pS value of similar function genes #155

Hi,Matt When evaluating the pN/pS values of similarly functioning genes, is it more appropriate to treat them as one long sequence or taking an average of all the genes? Thanks! yanpeng

Hi @haihao999 - that's a great question. I think both of the approaches you describe would work fine, but I'm not sure which is the "correct" way to do it.

Best, Matt
