Description : Bayesian Inference of Alignment and Phylogeny
BAli-Phy estimates multiple sequence alignments and evolutionary trees
from unaligned DNA, amino acid, or codon sequences. BAli-Phy uses MCMC
to estimate evolutionary trees, positive selection, and branch lengths
while averaging over alternative alignments. BAli-Phy can display
alignment ambiguity graphically in an alignment uncertainty (AU) plot.
.
BAli-Phy can also estimate phylogenies from a fixed alignment (like MrBayes
and BEAST) using substitution models like GTR+gamma. BAli-Phy automatically
estimates relative rates for each gene.
- Why is this package relevant?
This package performs Bayesian inference of alignment, as well as inference of phylogeny like mrbayes, beast-mcmc, beast2-mcmc, etc. This package produces higher quality alignments than programs like fsa, mafft, muscle, at the cost of taking much longer to run.
- How do you plan to maintain it?
I hope to maintain it myself. I am looking for a mentor.
