MP-EST¶
The MP-EST method estimates species trees from a set of gene trees by maximizing a pseudo-likelihood function. The program is written in C. The parallel version of the program can run independent searches (chains) in parallel. Each chain starts with a different seed. The program will find the estimate of the species tree with the largest likelihood score across chains. To use MP-EST, you need to create two files; a gene tree file and a control file.
