When the number of mutations in my ssm_data.txtfile exceeds ten thousand, the execution speed of Phylowgs becomes extremely slow. I would like to know if the results obtained by constructing 3500 trees using a single MCMC chain are equally reliable compared to the results obtained by constructing 3500 trees using ten MCMC chains together.
In other words, are the reliability of the results obtained through the following two approaches the same:
