Start Your TrialModelTest-NG determines the best-fit model of evolution for DNA and protein alignments. ModelTest-NG integrates five different model selection strategies: hierarchical and dynamical likelihood ratio tests (hLRT and dLRT), Akaike and Bayesian information criteria (AIC and BIC), and a decision theory method (DT). It can be used to operate statistical selection of best-fit models of nucleotide substitution or amino acid replacement.
The code runs on 24 cores, and supercedes jModelTest2 and Prottest.
