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. Latest Version
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.
This tutorial can be easily adapted to display and summarize annotated summary BEAST trees and prepare publication-ready figures for other datasets. FigTree - this is an application for displaying and printing molecular phylogenies, in particular those obtained using BEAST. At the time of writing, the current version is v1.4.4.
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 reconstruction, conditional posterior distribution summary and more. Tracer v1.7.2 can read output files from MrBayes, BEAST, BEAST2, RevBayes ...
Using BEAGLE with BEAST 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 Downloading and installing BEAGLE ...
BEAST is a software package for phylogenetic analysis with an emphasis on time-scaled trees.
BEAST | Bayesian Evolutionary Analysis Sampling Trees. This is the main program that takes a control file generated by BEAUti and performs the analysis.
