Bayesian Analysis to Describe Genomic Evolution by Rearrangement (BADGER) is a free software package for the Bayesian analysis of phylogenies. The package includes programs for analyzing genome arrangements including mitochondrial DNA The main program uses a variety of Metropolis-Hastings proposal mechanisms to sample from the joint posterior distribution of phylogenetic trees using a model of evolution by reversals of the genomic arrangement. Other programs in the distribution help in analysis of the sampled trees and clades.
The free software is available from the BADGER homepage.
