+PAML: Phylogenetic Analysis by Maximum Likelihood
+
+PAML is a package of programs for phylogenetic analyses of DNA or
+protein sequences using maximum likelihood. PAML is not good for tree
+making. It may be used to estimate parameters and test hypotheses to
+study the evolutionary process, when you have reconstructed trees
+using other programs such as PAUP*, PHYLIP, MOLPHY, PhyML, RaxML, etc.
+
+Notes about running of PAML programs and the package:
+
+- Example datasets are included in /usr/share/paml/examples
+- Control files for PAML programs are in /usr/share/paml
+- Dcumentation can be found in /usr/doc/paml-$VERSION
+- Additional executables are placed in /usr/libexec/paml
