Integrated model testing - amkozlov/raxml-ng GitHub Wiki

RAxML+NG v2 offers integrated model testing capabilities similar to ModelFinder in IQTree.

It can be used in two ways:

  1. Standalone model testing:

raxml-ng --modeltest --msa prot21.fa --data-type AA

  1. Automatic model selection before conducting ML tree search. For this, just specify --model DNA or --model AA in the command line, e.g.:

raxml-ng --msa dna56.phy --model DNA

raxml-ng --msa prot21.fa --model AA

Pleas note that this feature is still experimental and under development!

For more comprehensive model testing, please use ModelTest-NG.

For massively parallel model testing and phylogenetic inference with multiple HPC compute nodes and thousands of genes, please consider ParGenes.
