Phylogenetics, likelihood, evolution and complexity
See on Scoop.it – Virology and Bioinformatics from Virology.ca
Summary: Phylogenetics, likelihood, evolution and complexity (PLEX) is a flexible and fast Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo software program for large-scale analysis of nucleotide and amino acid data using complex evolutionary models in a phylogenetic framework. The program gains large speed improvements over standard approaches by implementing ‘partial sampling of substitution histories’, a data augmentation approach that can reduce data analysis times from months to minutes on large comparative datasets.
