Exabayes Readme

ExaBayes is a software package for Bayesian phylogenetic tree inference. It is particularly suitable for large-scale analyses on computer clusters.

Repository structure

This ExaBayes repository supports is now gitflow oriented.

It contains the following branches:

  • devel: latest potentially unstable changes, bugfixes before they enter releases
  • master: a commit on the master branch (always tagged) is a specific version of ExaBayes
  • feature branches: intended for development only

Documentation

Please find a detailed manual in manual/manual.pdf or manual/manual.html.

An online version of the manual is available on the ExaBayes site on the Exelixis website.

Possibly, blog posts may appear on my personal webpage.

Installation

Preferably download, compile and install a released version (available on the Exelixis website).

The slightly harder to way to install latest development version is to run bootstrap.sh (you need to have installed autoconf and an up-to-date version of autoconf-archive).

Identifiability

All released versions correspond to a git-tag and thus allow you to trace which code exactly was used when performing an analysis.

If you build from the devel-branch, ExaBayes specifies a pre-X version in the header of the log (where X is the succeeding version). Furthermore, ExaBayes prints the git commit id and git commit date.

Support

Since I have started working in a full-time job outside academia, my capabilities to support ExaBayes are fairly limited, despite intentions to keep the project running as well as possible. Please keep nagging me in particular about bug fixes, until you obtain a result that you see fit.

Consider posting in the ExaBayes google group.
