raxml-ng not starting with defined starting tree number?

[Andrew ODonnell]

Hi everyone,

I've been going through the tutorial with my data set to try to explore increasing amounts of tree space to explore. In the fourth part of the tutorial, it suggests to increase the number of starting random trees from the default 10 parsimony + 10 random to 25 each.

I don't think I have the computational resources for 25, so I tried with 15. As you can see below, I set the number of parsimony and random trees each to 15, but the parameters as seen in the Analysis options of the .log file say that I'm only using 10 random and 10 parsimony trees. Did I do something wrong, or am I otherwise missing the point?

Thank you!

Andrew

Hi Andrew,

you forgot the "--tree" flag :)

Best,
Oleksiy
