Hello again.

I want to perform a standard non-parametric bootstrap with 1000 replicates (without bootstopping) in RaxML-NG. Given I cannot set the replicates number, nor turn off the bootstoping option, I suspect that the only option in Cipres is run a maximum of 1000 replicates plus bootstopping (autoMRE, cutoff: 0.030000). That is correct?
Thank you
Best regards

Hi Ari,

Yes, the only bootstrap option currently exposed via CIPRES seems to be the default one: bootstopping with autoMRE and a maximum of 1000 bootstraps. I will follow up with Mark about allowing a specific number of bootstraps to be specified.

Incidentally, bootstrap searches are much slower in RAxML-NG than in standard RAxML. If that is of concern for you, standard RAxML might be a better choice for the bootstraps. If you mix the code versions in your analysis, you should note that RAxML-NG uses a ML estimate for the base frequencies (F0) by default, whereas standard RAxML uses empirical frequencies (F or FC) by default.

Best regards,  Wayne

Hi.

It seems that the bootstoping option is not currently available for "--all" analyses. I am noticed that you are right: some bootstrap searches take too much time. Is there any possibility to return the previous default options?
Sorry for the inconvenience!!
Thank you

Hi,
related question, is there a way in RaxML-NG to have the boots written to a file and not only in the end? same for ML tree (it would help to have a look at say 100, when you actually ask for 1000 given that they take so long...)
best, and thanks in advance...
