About:
BEAST 2 is a powerful software platform for Bayesian evolutionary analysis of molecular sequences. It provides a flexible and extensible framework for phylogenetic tree inference, coalescent analysis, and model testing. Its primary value lies in its ability to analyze complex evolutionary models and produce posterior parameter estimates and trees.
Key Features:
  • Bayesian MCMC inference for phylogenetics
  • Extensible via packages for specialized analyses
  • Supports complex evolutionary models and clock rates
  • Includes BEAUti for graphical model configuration
Use Cases:
  • Inferring phylogenetic trees from genetic sequence data
  • Estimating divergence times using molecular clocks
  • Testing evolutionary hypotheses and model selection
Alternatives:
  • MrBayes – MrBayes is another Bayesian inference tool, but BEAST 2 is preferred for relaxed clock models and complex demographic analyses.
