ExaBayes: Massively Parallel Bayesian Tree Inference for the Whole-Genome Era

Modern sequencing technology now allows biologists to collect the entirety of molecular evidence for reconstructing evolutionary trees. We introduce a novel, user-friendly software package engineered for conducting state-of-the-art Bayesian tree inferences on data sets of arbitrary size. Our software introduces a nonblocking parallelization of Metropolis-coupled chains, modifications for efficient analyses of data sets comprising thousands of...
