+vCAPS: (verbose) Coevolution Analysis using Protein Sequences
+
+CAPS is aimed at measuring the coevolution between amino acid sites
+belonging to the same protein (intra-molecular coevolution) or to two
+functionally or physically interacting proteins (inter-molecular
+coevolution). The Software implements an improved method to detect
+intra-molecular coevolution as published in Genetics (Fares and Travers,
+2006) and also inter-protein coevolution analysis. The improved scoring
+of amino acid sites is obtained by maximum likelihood ancestral state
+reconstruction along with simulations to assess significance.
+
+In addition, a test which assesses whether two proteins are interacting
+is implemented.
+
+NOTE:
+This applies an _unofficial_ patch by Petrov et al 2020, to enable more
+verbose output of the program, including CAPS generated phylogenetic
+trees and p-values of the pairwise results. The produced executable is
+called "vCAPS" and can be installed along "caps" from CAPS_coevolution.
+Building CAPS from source requires the Bio++ 1.9 suite.
