ksrates: positioning whole-genome duplications relative to speciation events in KS distributions

We present ksrates, a user-friendly command-line tool to position ancient whole-genome duplication events with respect to speciation events in a phylogeny by comparing paralog and ortholog K-S distributions derived from genomic or transcriptomic sequences, while adjusting for substitution rate differences among the lineages involved.
