Phylobayes - Bayesian phylogenetic software based on mixture models. Lartillot N., Philippe H. Molecular Biology and Evolution. 2004 21(6):1095-1109.

PhyloBayes is a Bayesian Monte Carlo Markov Chain (MCMC) sampler for phylogenetic reconstruction using protein alignments. Compared to other phylogenetic MCMC samplers (e.g. MrBayes ), the main distinguishing feature of PhyloBayes is the underlying probabilistic model, CAT. It is particularly well suited for large multigene alignments, such as those used in phylogenomics.

The version 2.3 of phylobayes allows for divergence time estimation, posterior predictive analyses, including compositional homogeneity and saturation tests, data recoding (analogous to R/Y coding, but for amino-acids), and cross-validation. It also implements a more efficient tree searching MCMC algorithm.
