BEAGLE is a high-performance library that can perform the core calculations at the heart of most Bayesian and Maximum Likelihood phylogenetics package. It can make use of highly-parallel processors such as those in graphics processing units (GPUs) found in many PCs. The current version of BEAGLE will only work with BEAST v1.6 or later.

Phylogeographic diffusion in discrete space. This chapter provides a step-by-step tutorial on reconstructing the spatial dispersal and cross-species dynamics of rabies virus (RABV) in North American bat populations based on a set of 372 nucleoprotein gene sequences (nucleotide positions: 594–1353). The data set comprises a total of 17 bat ...

Installing BEAST. Unzip the downloaded compressed ZIP archive (currently BEAST.v10.5.0-beta5.zip). The unzipped files contain executable binaries for BEAST, BEAUti, LogCombiner, TreeAnnotator and TreeStat. Double-clicking on those files will automatically start the corresponding program.

TempEst (formerly known as ‘Path-O-Gen’) is a tool for investigating the temporal signal and ‘clocklikeness’ of molecular phylogenies. It can read and analyse contemporaneous trees (where all sequences have been collected at the same time) and dated-tip trees (where sequences have been collected at different dates).

First Tutorial. An introductory tutorial to getting started with BEAST. This tutorial describes the use of BEAUti and BEAST to analyse some primate sequences and estimate a phylogenetic tree. It will take you through the process of importing an alignment, making choices about the model, generating a BEAST XML file. You will then run BEAST.

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. It can be used as a method of reconstructing phylogenies but is also a framework for testing evolutionary hypotheses without ...

Tracer. Tracer is a graphical tool for visualization and diagnostics of MCMC output. Tracer (now at version 1.7.2) is a software package for visualising and analysing the MCMC trace files generated through Bayesian phylogenetic inference. Tracer provides kernel density estimation, multivariate visualisation, demographic trajectory ...

Installing BEAST BEAST has been developed in Java , which allows the same code to run on any platform that has the Java software installed. We have also created packages for each of the common operating systems to provide a user-interface that is ‘native’ and familiar.
