MrBayes is a tool for Bayesian estimation of phylogeny.

The Redhawk cluster has both serial and parallel builds of this tool.  Use the “mb” executable to run in serial and “mb-mpi” (use mpirun to start) for the parallel version.  Note that the number of processors that can be used by the parallel version may be limited by the problem being solved.
