Phylogenetic Analysis Using Bayesian Model

Bayesian inference has been widely applied for phylogenetic and phyloinformatic analysis in recent years.In this paper we build up a high performance computing platform using OpenMPI with free-cost open source Ubuntu Linux operating systems, and then apply the Bayesian inference model to construct a phylogenetic tree of various biological species based on similarities and differences in their physical and genetic characteristics.A case study is also conducted and the experimental evaluation results to show that our cluster platform has achieved a good performance in the terms of time complexity when analyzing the molecular data using Bayesian model, leading a pilot inter-disciplinary Bioinformatics education program in between Computer Science and Biology.
