Description

beast website  

BEAST is a cross-platform program for Bayesian MCMC analysis of molecular sequences. It is entirely orientated towards rooted, time-measured phylogenies inferred 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 uses MCMC to average over tree space, so that each tree is weighted proportional to its posterior probability. We include a simple to use user-interface program for setting up standard analyses and a suit of programs for analysing the results.

Environment Modules

Run module spider beast to find out what environment modules are available for this application.

System Variables

  • HPC_BEAST_DIR - installation directory

Galaxy

Beast is also available for use through the friendly web interface of the UFRC Galaxy instance. It's located in the "Phylogenetics" section.

Interactive BEAUti use

See https://beast.community/beauti for general documentation on using BEAUti.

  • Start an OnDemand session (console or desktop)
  • Load the beast module in the terminal

See GUI Programs for reference.

Additional Information

  • Use -beagle_GPU beast command-line argument to invoke BEAST with GPU acceleration when running in a GPU Job
  • To use CPU acceleration with the beagle library, use the '-beagle_SSE -beagle_instances N' command line switches where 'N' equals to the number of requested Beagle library instances.
  • To limit the number of computing cores Beast will use for posterior computation to the number requested from the batch system use the '-threads N' where 'N' is the number of threads. Then, the job resource request should be equal to
#SBATCH --ntasks=1
#SBATCH --cpus-per-task=X

where X = N + 1.

Installing BEAST2 plugins

  • Start an OnDemand session (console or desktop)
  • Load the beast module in the terminal
  • Run beauti; use the File/Manage Packages menu to select the add-ons to (un)install.

Note: Beast2 plugins are installed into your personal directory.
