MetaPIGA v3.1 – Large Phylogeny Estimation

MetaPIGA v3.1

:: DESCRIPTION

MetaPIGA is a robust implementation of several stochastic heuristics for large phylogeny inference (under maximum likelihood), including a random-restart hill climbing, a simulated annealing algorithm, a classical genetic algorithm, and the metapopulation genetic algorithm (metaGA) together with complex substitution models, discrete Gamma rate heterogeneity, and the possibility to partition data.
