Biological inferences obtained from molecular data are only as good as the extent of evolutionary signatures retained in the genetic data. Techniques available to quantify these signatures are largely targeted towards phylogeny reconstruction and they often rely on adhoc hypothesis tests of significance. I present a Bayesian function that assesses whether a set of genetic sequences are saturated. That is, it is useful for determining whether the evolutionary information in the sequences has eroded with time. Site specific Bayes factors are generated with respect to codon bases to allow for straightforward applications in extensive computational biology inquiries, including natural selection analyses.

The arrangement of hypotheses in a hierarchical structure appears in many research fields and often indicates different resolutions at which data can be viewed. This raises the question of which resolution level the signal should best be interpreted on. treeclimbR provides a flexible method to select optimal resolution levels (potentially different levels in different parts of the tree), rather than cutting the tree at an arbitrary level. treeclimbR uses a tuning parameter to generate candidate resolutions and from these selects the optimal one.
