What is BayesPhylogenies?

BayesPhylogenies

BayesPhylogenies is a cool tool made for biologists who want to figure out phylogenetic trees. It does this using two different methods! The software can handle various models of how genes change, which is super handy. Plus, it works for both rooted trees and looks at physical traits too. And if that wasn't enough, it supports gamma and beta distributed rate-heterogeneity!

How Does It Work?

This program uses a neat "mixture model." What's that? Well, it lets you use more than one model of gene evolution without needing to break your data into parts. This makes things simpler when you're analyzing.

No Installation Needed!

The best part? You don't even have to install the app! It comes in an archive format. Just unpack it and run the executable file to start using it right away.

Using the Command Line

Now, here's something to keep in mind: BayesPhylogenies doesn't have a graphical user interface (GUI). So, you'll be working from the command line. But don't worry! You won't have to open Command Prompt yourself; the utility launches in the console automatically.

Getting Started with Your Files

Once you fire up the program, you'll need to tell it where your Nexus file is located. After you point it in the right direction with the file name, you can also tweak some other settings that will affect how everything runs.

User Manual Included

A detailed user manual is packed inside the downloadable archive. It's a smart move to check this out so you can really make the most of BayesPhylogenies!
