  • SSA: Inference of Maximum Likelihood Phylogenetic Trees Using a Stochastic Search Algorithm

    This program implements the stochastic search algorithm for estimation of phylogenetic trees under the maximum likelihood criterion. It is described in the following paper for trees which satisfy the molecular clock, although it can estimate non-clocklike trees as well:

    Salter, L. and D. Pearl. 2001. A Stochastic Search Strategy for Estimation of Maximum Likelihood Phylogenetic Trees, Systematic Biology 50(1): 7-17.

  • SSAMK: Inference of Maximum Likelihood Phylogenetic Trees for Morphological Data

    This program uses a stochastic search algorithm for estimation of maximum likelihood phylogenetic trees for morphological data, using the model of Lewis (Syst Biol 50(6): 913-925). The search algorithm is similar to that described in the Salter and Pearl paper above.

    Coming soon!


  • Phylogenetic Utility Programs

    This includes programs to aid in the summary of the posterior distribution of phylogenetic trees from the program MrBayes. The first program, post_prob, will tabulate the percentage of times each tree topology appears in the posterior distribution output by MrBayes, thus providing posterior probabilities for each tree topology. The second program, post_root, will tabulate the percentage of times each possible root position appears in the posterior distribution output by MrBayes, thus providing posterior probabities for each root.
