I am writing this email with regard to the error message that I am getting on the IQTREE web server while running the analysis.

ERROR: Partition file is not in NEXUS format, assuming RAxML-style partition file...

ERROR: Please specify alignment positions for partitionGTR+G:Subset2, GTR+G:Subset3, GTR+I:Subset4, GTR+G:Subset5, GTR+G:Subset6, GTR+G:Subset7;\
ERROR: end;\
ERROR: \

ERROR: }

Below is the alignment partitioning detail that I am using to run the analysis.

#nexus

begin sets;

charset Subset1 = 1-519;

charset Subset2 = 520-1190;

charset Subset3 = 1191-1906\3;

charset Subset4 = 1192-1906\3;

charset Subset5 = 1193-1906\3;

charset Subset6 = 1907-2276\3;

charset Subset7 = 1908-2276\3 1909-2276\3;

charpartition PartitionFinder = GTR+G:Subset1, K80+G:Subset2, F81:Subset3, GTR+I:Subset4, HKY+G:Subset5, HKY:Subset6, JC:Subset7;

end;

Kindly help me.

Hi RJ,

This is a question for the IQ-TREE google group. It looks like PartitionFinder worked fine.

Hi Rob,

Thanks for replying. I posted the error message on IQ-TREE group also, last Friday. But haven't received any reply. I am really stuck and need help.
