BayesPhylogenies 1.1 – Inferring Phylogenetic Trees using MCMC or MCMCMC

BayesPhylogenies 1.1

:: DESCRIPTION

BayesPhylogenies is a general package for inferring phylogenetic trees using Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) or Metropolis-coupled Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMCMC) methods. The program allows a range of models of gene sequence evolution, models for morphological traits, models for rooted trees, gamma and beta distributed rate-heterogeneity, and implements a ‘mixture model’ (Pagel and Meade, 2004) that allows the user to fit more than one model of sequence evolution, without partitioning the data.
