Oh, this looks quite convenient, especially the filtering and mimicking empirical matrices.
IQ-TREE 3 is now integrated with MCMCTree: That is, IQ-TREE's sophisticated substitution models can now be used for Bayesian molecular-clock dating analyses!
Outputs from TreeSim, FossilSim & SimClock feed straight into MorphSim 🔗 giving you a full end-to-end simulation pipeline with fossils, sampled ancestors, taphonomic biases & all 🦴
We have also developed a shiny app, MorphSimShiny, to help people less familiar with R to get started! 👩💻
🚨🚨 Last 2 days to apply for our workshop! Get those applications in 📝✨
This project was a great collaborative effort with Tim Brandler, @acapomorphic.bsky.social, @rachelwarnock.bsky.social, and Joëlle Barido-Sottani ✨
