Hi @josephhughes,
MixtureFinder only works with DNA models. This is explained in the paper: https://www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/2024.03.20.586035v2
There are lots of mixture models for Amino acids too, these are also available in IQ-TREE and explained in the docs under "Protein mixture models" here: http://www.iqtree.org/doc/Substitution-Models

I'm running "IQ-TREE multicore version 2.3.6 for Linux x86 64-bit built Aug 1 2024" with the following command:
/software/iqtree-v2.3.6/bin/iqtree2 -s test_aa.fa -m MIX+MF --prefix test
following the documentation here: http://www.iqtree.org/doc/Complex-Models
but I'm getting the following error message:
Is it really only possible to test mixture models for DNA alignments?
