GPrank R package

R package for ranking genomic time series using Gaussian Process models. The package allows for finding potential selection targets in Evolve & Resequence experiments.

IQ-TREE PoMo

Polymorphism-aware phylogenetic Models (PoMo) applied to phylogenetic tree inference using population data (site frequency data). One may reconstruct a maximum-likelihood tree from alignment data using IQ-TREE PoMo.

RevBayes PoMo

The PoMo models’ full-likelihood approach also allows for Bayesian inference of species trees.

Includes tutorials on how to run PoMo on RevBayes.
