This software is designed for reconstructing phylogenetic trees using gapped data. It utilizes a specialized algorithm that facilitates the inclusion of gaps, allowing for more accurate evolutionary analysis.
MAC5 is a cutting-edge software program that utilizes MCMC sampling technique to estimate a phylogenetic tree from a DNA multiple alignment. It stands out from other programs like BAMBE and MrBayes due to its exceptional use of five-state sequence evolution models to add gap information when aligning.
Although some scientific studies have criticized these models in the past, highlighting their demerits, for example, Durbin et al. in 1998, page 217, it has been found that they can improve topology estimation in many situations. With MAC5, you can leverage these models and achieve more accurate and precise results in your analysis.
