[ensembl-dev] phyloFit model files

[Christian Groß - EWI]

Dear Matthieu,

Thank you very much, I think that I know how I have to proceed further. The .mod file is the output of phyloFit consisting of the computed tree with branch lengths, substitution matrix and nucleotide equilibrium frequencies. 

 Best regards,

Christian

Hi Christian

Sorry but the information is slightly out-of-date. We are not using phyloFit any more. Branch lengths now come either Mash or RAxML.

I've had a look at the command-line we used to run phyloFit, but I'm not sure what the .mod file is. We were doing: "$phylofit_exe --tree $species_tree_file --subst-mod HKY85 --out-root $phylo_out_file $msa_fasta_file"
