Abstract

In this work we present the development of a workflow based on Taverna which is going to be implemented for calculations in Phylogeny by means of the MrBayes tool. It has a friendly interface developed with the Gridsphere framework. The user is able to define the parameters for doing the Bayesian calculation, determine the model of evolution, check the accuracy of the results in the intermediate stages as well as do a multiple alignment of the sequences previously to the final result. To do this, no knowledge from his/her side about the computational procedure is required.
