Description

MP-EST estimates species trees from a set of gene trees by maximizing a pseudo-likelihood function. The input data of MP-EST are rooted binary gene trees produced by the maximum likelihood phylogenetic programs RAxML, PHYML, PHYLIP, and PAUP etc. In addition to the gene tree file, a control file must be generated for running MP-EST. The control file contains necessary parameters for running MP-EST.

Upcoming modulesystem change alert!

Due to large number of applications and their versions it is not practical to keep them explicitly listed at our wiki pages. Therefore an upgrade of modulefiles is underway. A feature of this upgrade will be the existence of default module for every application. This default choice does not need version number and it will load some (usually latest) version.

You can test the new version now by adding a line

source /cvmfs/software.metacentrum.cz/modulefiles/5.1.0/loadmodules

to your script before loading a module. Then, you can list all versions of mpest and load default version of mpest as

module avail mpest/ # list available modules
module load mpest   # load (default) module


If you wish to keep up to the current system, it is still possible. Simply list all modules by

module avail mpest

and choose explicit version you want to use.
