We have developed siMBa (simple MrBayes), a simple graphical user interface for MrBayes. This tool gives the user interactive control over most of the parameters and also facilitates the input of a multiple sequence alignment, as any widely used format can be used. siMBa is coded in Perl using the Tk module. Executables are provided for Windows, Linux, and Macintosh. The executables for different operating system, are freely available to download from http://www.thines-lab.senckenberg.de/simba.
