Cutting edge recombination detection - DualBrothers plugin released
Posted on 20 Oct 2008 08:30
In partnership with Dr Marc Suchard of UCLA, Biomatters has released a plugin for DualBrothers – a freely available program for detecting recombination in multiple alignments. DualBrothers employs the most accurate method available to researchers today: the dual Multiple Change-Point (MCP) model.
Our plugin makes running this advanced analysis as easy as building an alignment and it's free for all Geneious users, both Pro and Basic.
Instructions
To install, select "Plugins" from the "Tools" menu in Geneious then click the "Install" button next to DualBrothers.
Once it's installed, run DualBrothers by selecting any multiple alignment and clicking "Detect Recomb." in the toolbar. To do a quick preliminary analysis, turn down the "Chain Length" option after clicking on Detect Recomb.
Geneious calculates graphs of your completed analysis – just click on the "Alignment View" tab.
