MrBayes is a program used for bayesian inference of phylogeny. MrBayes is cowritten by John Huelsenbeck and Fredrik Ronquist.
The version of MrBayes included with this version of Rocks is MPI enabled, and can be used in either parallel or serial modes of execution.
MrBayes uses the NEXUS file format for input. To use MrBayes in interactive mode, just type mb at the command line
[nostromo@xxx mrbayes]$ mb

To use MrBayes in the parallel version, you'll need to use it in non-interactive mode. It can be invoked as shown.
[nostromo@xxx ~]$ /opt/openmpi/bin/mpirun -np 4 /opt/bio/mrbayes/mb /opt/bio/mrbayes/primates.nex > ~/log.txt
[nostromo@xxx ~]$ cat log.txt

Tasks completed, exiting program because mode is noninteractive
To return control to the command line after completion of file processing,
set mode to interactive with 'mb -i <filename>' (i is for interactive)
or use 'set mode=interactive'
