The ChromEvol software was the first to implement a likelihood-based approach, using probabilistic models that depict the pattern of chromosome number change along a specified phylogeny. The initial models have been completed and expanded during the last years. New parameters that model polyploid chromosome evolution have been implemented in ChromEvol v.2. In recent years, new and more complex models have been developed. The BiChrom model is able to implement two distinct chromosome models for the two possible trait states of a binary character of interest. ChromoSSE jointly implements chromosome evolution, speciation, and extinction. In the near future, we will be able to study chromosome evolution with increasingly complex models.
ChromEvol 软件是第一个实现基于可能性的方法的软件，它使用概率模型来描绘沿着指定系统发育的染色体数量变化的模式。初始模型在过去几年中已经完成并扩展。在 ChromEvol v.2 中实现了新的参数来对多倍体染色体进化进行建模。近年来，已经开发了新的和更复杂的模型。BiChrom 模型能够为感兴趣的二元特征的两个可能特征状态实现两个不同的染色体模型。ChromoSSE 联合实现了染色体进化、物种形成和灭绝。在不久的将来，我们将能够使用越来越复杂的模型来研究染色体进化。
