+    longDescription = ''
+      Bayesian inference of phylogeny is based upon a
+      quantity called the posterior probability distribution of trees, which is
+      the probability of a tree conditioned on the observations. The conditioning
+      is accomplished using Bayes's theorem. The posterior probability
+      distribution of trees is impossible to calculate analytically; instead,
+      MrBayes uses a simulation technique called Markov chain Monte Carlo (or
+      MCMC) to approximate the posterior probabilities of trees.
