Richèl J.C. Bilderbeek · The Journal of Open Source Software · 2020
One can generate a phylogeny from a DNA alignment and a model of evolution.Selecting an evolutionary model is non-trivial, as there are many.mcbette is an R package that determines the model that has most evidence for having generated the alignment, from a set of models.In this way, the model that is 'simple enough, but not simpler' can be used to generate a phylogeny.
