RaxmlGUI

RaxmlGUI orchestrates execution of RAxML 8.x and RAxML Next Generation to perform maximum-likelihood phylogenetic inference, alignment concatenation, and partition specification.


Key Features:

  • Automated Pipelines: Orchestrates analyses that require multiple successive calls of RAxML to implement complex workflows.
  • Alignment Concatenation and Partitioning: Concatenates alignment files and automatically specifies partition settings for multi-partition analyses.
  • Support for RAxML Versions: Executes both RAxML 8.x and RAxML Next Generation binaries.
  • Execution of RAxML Binaries: Integrates with RAxML binaries to run maximum-likelihood tree inference and related RAxML procedures.

Scientific Applications:

  • Phylogenetic analysis: Estimation of maximum-likelihood phylogenetic trees from genetic sequence data using RAxML implementations.
  • Evolutionary relationship inference: Inferring evolutionary relationships among species or genes.
  • Phylogenomics: Large-scale phylogenomic projects that require concatenation of multiple alignments and partitioned analyses.

Methodology:

Uses the maximum-likelihood methods implemented in RAxML; performs concatenation of alignment files with automatic partition specification; executes multiple successive RAxML calls via automated pipelines.
