Modiphy

Library for phylogenetic analysis using Scala.

Why?

Because I want to be able to rapidly develop evolutionary models and test them. Scala is fast (enough) to run, fast to develop, and has threadless parallelism with Actors.

Status

Currently this software is in the testing phase. Documentation is sparse.

Future

I want to include HMM-based models (i.e. tree-HMM or phylo-HMM type features). I would like to develop this into a full domain specific language. It hasn't had any optimisation yet.
