BEAST is a cross-platform program for Bayesian analysis of molecular sequences using MCMC. It is entirely orientated towards rooted, time-measured phylogenies inferred using strict or relaxed molecular clock models.
BEAST v1.10.4 fixes a bug when trying to specify a burnin on the command line version of LogCombiner. It also introduces two new command line options specific to BEAGLE v3.1 (-beagle_threading_off and -beagle_thread_count).
BEAST X is the new name for BEAST v1 project and the first release version of this is v10.5.0 which supersedes v1.10.4 in the old version system. From now on we will use the full major, minor, bugfix style of semantic versioning.
This realisation includes all the transitions (Markov jumps) between states along phylogenetic branches and the time (Markov rewards) spent in the states between two transitions. This tutorial discusses how to estimate such quantities using stochastic mapping techniques implemented in BEAST.
BEAST is a software package for phylogenetic analysis with an emphasis on time-scaled trees.
BEAST XML Elements The following is a list of valid elements in a beast file.
Custom substitution models BEAUti provides a fairly standard selection of substitution models, but BEAST can deal with a wide range of possible models through XML specification. This can be done by imposing assumptions on the general time-reversible model (GTR; Tavaré, 1986) of nucleotide substitution, or on the HKY (1985) model of nucleotide substitution. This how-to guide provides XML code ...
