Delphy

Delphy speeds up Bayesian phylogenetics for real-time outbreak tracking

Researchers describe Delphy, a phylogenetics tool that encodes evolutionary trees as timed nodes carrying explicit mutation and 'missation' (missing-data) annotations relative to a reference sequence. This design lets the software efficiently reconstruct full sequences at any tree point and handle uncertain tip collection dates, aiming to make Bayesian phylogenetic analysis fast enough for near-real-time outbreak response.
