Software

MAPminer
Software for summarizing a posterior distribution of phylogenies. This is a C++ command-line application. Use the following links for compiled executible and source code for Mac OSX (power PC and Intel) and Linux (compiled using Fedora 6).

Current version is 1.1 (fixes a bug in v 1.0 where the program could fail with the error "invalid n, either 0 or exceeds maximum value of generator").
