Abstract Background In phylogenetic inference one is interested in obtaining samples from the posterior distribution over the tree space on the basis of some observed DNA sequence data. One of the simplest sampling methods is the rejection sampler due to von Neumann. Here we introduce an auto-validating version of the rejection sampler via interval analysis to rigorously draw samples from posterior distributions over small phylogenetic tree spaces. Results The posterior samples from the auto-validating sampler are used to rigorously i estimate posterior probabilities for different rooted topologies based on mitochondrial DNA from human chimpanzee and gorilla ii conduct a non-parametric test of rate variation between protein-coding and tRNA-coding .
