Dr. Rasmus Nielsen Laboratory is where I am currently doing research (December 2005-present). It is located at the Centre for Bioinformatics, København Universitet, Denmark.

Overview of research

Nucleotide model: GTR (option: +gamma)
Constrain all phylogenetic groups to be monophyletic
Make option: strict clock trees (uniform) (prset brlenspr=clock:uniform)
1,000,000 updates (e.g. cycles)
discard first 50,000 as burn-in
sample a total of 10,000 trees (say)
Then process output to get probabilities of each possible phylogenetic assignment of query sequence.
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.
