BEAST 1.10.4 / BEAST2 2.6.1
:: DESCRIPTION
BEAST (Bayesian Evolutionary Analysis Samling Trees) is a cross-platform program for Bayesian MCMC analysis of molecular sequences. It is entirely orientated towards rooted, time-measured phylogenies inferred using strict or relaxed molecular clock models. It can be used as a method of reconstructing phylogenies but is also a framework for testing evolutionary hypotheses without conditioning on a single tree topology. BEAST uses MCMC to average over tree space, so that each tree is weighted proportional to its posterior probability. We include a simple to use user-interface program for setting up standard analyses and a suit of programs for analysing the results.
BEAST 2 is an open source cross-platform program for Bayesian MCMC phylogenetic analysis of molecular sequences.
