BEAST

module avail beast/
module avail beast2/

BEAST 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.

Usage

Parallel run

For parallel running are required additional parameters

-instances N -threads N

where N is one less value than number of processors requested in PBS task.
