PhyloBayes

Description

phylobayes-mpi website

PhyloBayes-MPI (Lartillot et al, 2013) is a Bayesian Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) sampler for phylogenetic inference exploiting a message-passing interface system for multi-core computing. The program will perform phylogenetic reconstruction using either nucleotide, protein, or codon sequence alignments. Compared to other phylogenetic MCMC samplers, the main distinguishing feature of PhyloBayes is the use of non-parametric methods based on Dirichlet processes (infinite mixture models) for modeling among-site variation in nucleotide or amino-acid propensities.
