Hi everyone.
I'm having trouble running GMYC analysis, it is taking too much time, and i don't really know if something went wrong, or maybe my tree input file is not the right one for the analysis. I did put a newick ultrametric tree file archive to run. Here it is.
I would appreciate any help. Thank you.

Dear Maria,

The tree is indeed ultrametric and properly formatted in Newick format.

Maybe the usage of the non-ASCII é ncharacter in the tree file name is
causing the issue?

Hi Maria,

If changing the file name didn't work either, the problem may be the data. 
Being an ultrametric tree, I cannot say anything about the basic signal but from the tip naming, it doesn't look like a data/tip set suitable for delineating species at all. 
You have 18 tips labelled for 14 genera; and all genera represented by more than a single tip are forming clades. This looks like a standard phylogenetic/phylogenomic data-tip-set with a sample focussed above the species level and little coverage for within species. 
In contrast to a data set, where one would use PTP or GMYC to classify the tips into species-level taxa; which, typically, have (much) more tips than expected species (or other molecular-defined taxa in case of bulk sequencing data).

What is the question/taxonomic objective by using GMYC on this tip set?

Cheers, Guido
