Phylogenetics Tool

[Nazneen Ali]

Hi,
I am working on a project and I need to know which ever phylogenetics tool ( based on the bayesian inference) is most in use and considered best these days.
This is a list of phylogenetics tools i have found while searching on the web:

TOPALi
PAML
MrBayes
BEAST
BayesPhylogenies
BATWING
BAli-Phy

I need to know which of these tools is considered best among professionals.
Thankyou in advance

Hi Nazeen
There's no "best" program or method for phylogenetic analysis. It all depends on your data-set, the questions you're asking, and your proficiency with different computer languages. There are many ways to construct phylogenetic trees including maximum likelihood, maximum parsimony, MCMC/Bayesian interference. The SEQwiki has a list of software tools: http://seqanswers.com/wiki/Software/list that might be a good place to start.
