  2. trim alignment
    trimal
    trimal -in aligned_seq.fasta -out name.trimal.fasta -gt 0.3 -st 0.001

  3. Fast Tree
  4. RAxML

basic command for ML tree on nucleotide sequences with fast bootstrap

raxmlHPC-PTHREADS-SSE3 -T 4 -m GTRCAT -c 25 -e 0.001 -p 31415 -f a -N 100 -x 02938 -n name -s name.aln.fas

  1. IQtree
  2. PhyloBayes
