Bayesian Evolutionary Analysis by Sampling Trees(BEAST) LEE KIM-SUNG Environmental Health Institute National Environment Agency
Analysis of Sequence Variation • Polymorphisms • Phylogenetics • Statistic and evolution • Parameter estimation • Hypothesis testing
BEAST • Framework for parameter estimation and hypothesis testing of evolutionary models • Bayesian statistical framework • Combination of prior knowledge and data information • Cross-platform for Bayesian MCMC analysis of molecular sequences
BEAST • Drummond AJ, Rambaut A (2007) "BEAST: Bayesian evolutionary analysis by sampling trees." BMC Evolutionary Biology7:214 • 23 versions since June 2003 • Increasing range of models implemented • >150 publications • Java platform • Open source
What can BEAST do? • Molecular clock models • constant, variable (relaxed) • Non-contemporaneous sequences (tipdate) • Local clock • Coalescent models • Population size and growth • Multi-locus • Estimation of divergence date • Substitution model heterogeneity across sites • Flexible model specification
BEAST Workflow Sequence alignment Specify parameters and models Generating XML in Beauti Running BEAST Tracer Analyzing BEAST output Low ESS Tree Annotater
Beauti : Generating XML file • A graphical user interface for generating BEAST XML input files for a number of model combinations
Grid Enabled BEAST? • BEAST performance • dictated by speed of likelihood evaluation at each state • dataset, parameter running time • e.g. Phylogeographic analysis • 11 days (Core 2 Duo, 2.8 GHz, 4GB RAM) • 5 days (Mac Cluster) • Possibility of Grid computing for BEAST?
