Introduction
BEAST 2 is a cross-platform program for Bayesian phylogenetic analysis of molecular sequences. It estimates rooted, time-measured phylogenies using strict or relaxed molecular clock models. It can be used as a method of reconstructing phylogenies but is also a framework for testing evolutionary hypotheses without conditioning on a single tree topology. BEAST 2 uses Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) to average over tree space, so that each tree is weighted proportional to its posterior probability.
Installed version
The currently installed version is 2.4.5.
Using Beast on the Cluster
If you want to use Beast on the cluster, you can do that by loading the corresponding module with the command:
module load Beast
At the moment, there is only one version of Beast installed, thats why you dont have to specify a version (e.g. Beast/2.4.5).
Documentation
You can find more informations about Beast 2 and even some tutorials on the official website.
