PhyML

Phylogenetic inference for molecular evolution using PhyML

Requires Geneious 10.0+

    PhyML estimates maximum likelihood phylogenies from alignments of nucleotide or amino acid sequences. PhyML offers a large number of substitution models coupled to various options to search the space of phylogenetic tree topologies, going from very fast and efficient methods to slower but generally more accurate approaches.

    Install the plugin by downloading the gplugin file and dragging it in to Geneious Prime or use the plugin manager in Geneious Prime (under Tools - Plugins in the menu).

    Once installed, run the plugin by selecting a multiple sequence alignment and clicking on Tree in the toolbar. PhyML is available as an option at the top of the Tree building options window.
