RAxML

Category: Analysis-Phylogenetics

Description

RAxML is a phylogenetics code that uses the Maximum likelihood model of molecular evolution. Similar to MrBayes code, it computes a likelihood score that depends upon tree topology, branch lengths and parameters for model.

Use

To use RAxML, simply load the module:

module load raxml

There are 4 different binaries to choose from:

• raxmlHPC - serial
• raxmlHPC-SSE3 - serial version that exploits fine-grain parallelism in processor
• raxmlHPC-PTHREADS - parallel version
• raxmlHPC-SSE3-PTHREADS - parallel with vector instructions

When using the parallel versions, specify the number of threads with the -T option.
