Hi evevyone,

RAxML allows for only a single model of rate heterogeneity in partitioned analyses. I.e. all partitions must be assigned one of three types of model: No heterogeneity (e.g. GTR); +G (e.g. GTR+G); or +I+G (e.g. GTR+I+G).    

If my mitochondrial sequence partitions each have different models, such as GTR+G, HKY+G, JC+G, and K80+I+G, how should I set the model parameters in RAxML? 

Best wishes

Hi Sithions,

please use raxml-ng which supports individual model specification for each partition:

Best,

your partition file looks good.

please post FULL output of raxml-ng
