Hi,

I'm a current Master's student and not very experienced with IQTree. I'm trying to run model testing on my data partitioned by locus as well as by first, second, and third codon position.
The output file only seems to have one model for each locus, rather than selecting models for all three codon positions throughout the alignment.

Can someone help me figure out what I'm missing?

Thanks,
Stefan Dahl

Hi Stefan,
Can you paste the contents of the file _JOBINFO.TXT from a job run into a reply?
This will help me locate the job run you are referring to.

SIncerely,

Hi Stefan,

I regret to say that this question is a bit out of my level of understanding of IQ Tree.
I would recommend you contact the IQ Tree folks directly, or try their AI chat tool.

Sorry I could not be more helpful.

Mark
