Hi Laura,

You might find that Arabidopsis and rice (a monocot and a dicot) are too 
distant for this analysis, depending what you are trying to achieve.  When I 
did a full genome scan of coding sequences, Arabidopsis and poplar (both 
dicots)  are a bit too distant to get reasonable values - you tend to find a 
lot of genes where dS is saturated, so the dN/dS estimates are not very 
reliable.  For an Arabidopsis/Papaya comparison, I found I could get decent 
values for around half the genome at least.  If your objective is to get the 
values for the rice side of things, then maybe try maize as the comparator?

I'm afraid I can't help you with a public source for the data, I computed them 
myself using paml, but if you can't find what you need, drop me a line, and 
maybe there is something we can do together.

Best wishes

Hi Laura,
i am assuming you are using Ensembl dataset. I am forwarding your
email to the [email protected]. Someone from Ensembl will be able to
help you
