Overview

Software platform enhances Bayesian evolutionary analysis with extensibility and improved functionality.

Key Points

  • To introduce a redesigned software platform, BEAST 2, for Bayesian evolutionary analysis that addresses limitations of BEAST 1.
  • Developed a new package management system for easy extension of functionality.
  • Enabled reading/writing of MCMC chain states to/from disk for better sharing and checkpointing.
  • Integrated user interface (BEAUti 2) with a consistent XML file format for improved usability.
  • Introduced new models for birth-death-sampling tree priors, phylodynamics, and model averaging.
  • Facilitated multi-processor support for high-end computing by improved state handling.
  • Enhanced user interface integration allows seamless addition of new functionality through XML.
