AI Article Synopsis
- ModelTest-NG is a new tool designed from the ground up to improve upon jModelTest and ProtTest, which are used for selecting model substitutions for nucleotide and amino acid sequences.
- It is significantly faster—one to two orders of magnitude—than its predecessors while maintaining equal accuracy and adds new features like bias correction and automatic processing.
- ModelTest-NG is open source and can be accessed under the GNU GPL3 license at its GitHub page.
Article Abstract
ModelTest-NG is a reimplementation from scratch of jModelTest and ProtTest, two popular tools for selecting the best-fit nucleotide and amino acid substitution models, respectively. ModelTest-NG is one to two orders of magnitude faster than jModelTest and ProtTest but equally accurate and introduces several new features, such as ascertainment bias correction, mixture, and free-rate models, or the automatic processing of single partitions. ModelTest-NG is available under a GNU GPL3 license at https://github.com/ddarriba/modeltest , last accessed September 2, 2019.
