Related to general implementation of IQTree instead of RAxML #21
From the looks of it, iqtree generates single trees for each partition specified in the nexus file. Which means, in theory, we could ditch fasttree;
edit: wait a second though. I am currently just looking at MSAs part of the core genome. So, one would have to extend the iqtree step to all MSAs...
edit2: nevermind, I was looking at another output-directory :)
It makes more sense to estimate a substitution model per single RIBAP group (thus MSA) instead of a single model for the concatenated MSA or just using some default one.
This can be done via IQtree:
Then, for each single MSA a model is estimated. Now, the model-MSA combination can be defined for inout of IQtree w/o the need of concatenating all MSAs into one big MSA.
http://www.iqtree.org/doc/Advanced-Tutorial check the section "Partitioned analysis with mixed data"
So you write a nexus file with the partition scheme and the alignment files can be specified in there too.
