  2. 1. MrBayes 1.1 Overview on MrBayes • ImplementstheMetropolis-Hastings-Green-algorithm. • Analysescanbestartedfromtheinternalcommandline (just like in PAUP*). • The helpcommanddisplays a listofavailablecommands. • help <command>displayshelpto a certaincommend. • More informationunderhttp://mrbayes.sourceforge.net/mb3.2_manual.pdf • Command referenceunderhttp://mrbayes.sourceforge.net/Help/

  3. 1. MrBayes 1.2 Importantcommandstostart an analysis • execute<alignmentFile>: Reads alignmentdatafrom a file (e.g. Nexus). • lset: Can beusedtosetthemodelparameters (e.g. nst=6 rates=invgammasetsthe GTR+I+G model) • mcmc: Starts an MCMC analysiswiththeloadedalignment. • ngen: The numberofgenerationsforthechaintorun. • samplefreq: The frequencyofgenerationswhen a treeshallbewrittentothe log file • printfreq: The frequencytoprintinformation on thecurrentruntothecommandline. • diagnfreq: The frequencytoanalizethecurrentprocess (e.g. themeasure of the similarity of the current tree samples). • savebrlens: Specifyyeshere, ifbranchlengthsshallbesaved. • nchains: Specifiesthenumberof parallel chains(defaultis 4).

  4. 1. MrBayes 1.3 Importantcommandsto finish an analysis • plot: Plots thedeveopmentof an estimatedparameterover time (The parametertobedisplayedcanbeselected.) • sump: Summarize samples of model parameters (section 2.2.8 in manual) • sumt: Summarizethetreesamples
