In MrBayes, if you run the program with the constraints of monophyletic groups, you are forcing the query sequence '''not''' to be part of these groups. So that won't work.
+
 
+
Instead, run it without the constraints and simply check how often the query sequence is member of a partition that only contains one particular phylogenetic group as members (at any phylognetic level, e.g. species, genus, family, order, etc).
+
 
+
Remember, MrBayes will output the probabililities of specific groups (or partitions) directly. So you don't have to do anything with trees yourself.
