Substitution Model Selection in RAxML-NG

[Abdulrahman Murad]

Hi RAxMLers,

I recently started using RAxML-NG and I'm trying to figure out how to automatically detect a substitution model based on my amino acid (AA) data.

In RAxML version 8.2.11, there's the -m PROTGAMMAAUTO option, which allows the program to automatically select the best-fit model.

Is there an equivalent option to -m PROTGAMMAAUTO in RAxML-NG?

Thank you!

Hi Abdulrahman,

raxml-ng does not support this mode. So you would need to run ModelTest-NG manually

or use ParGenes:

Best,
Oleksiy
