RepMaker: embarrassingly parallel PAUP bootstraps
RepMaker is a perl script that automatically generates multiple NEXUS files, usually used to distribute a single PAUP* bootstrap analysis over multiple cpus.

Using RepMaker on HPC


RepMaker is available on all HPC nodes and can be run interactively to set up PAUP* bootstrap runs. The file input.nex minimally contains a PAUP block that sets up the run conditions for your bootstrap analysis. Use RepMaker's accessory script "submitAll" for MOAB job submission on HPC Here's a sample workflow for running this type of analysis:

1)  Create your input.nex file in the same directory
    as your data file, both in NEXUS format.
2)  Run "repmaker yourdata.nex"
3) "cd RepFiles"
4)  Run "submitAll"

Do not run large PAUP* bootstrap run interactively! They will be shut down.
