IQ-TREE

Description

iq-tree website  

IQ-Tree is a very efficient maximum likelihood phylogenetic software.

Required Modules

Parallel (MPI)

• gcc
• openmpi
• iq-tree

System Variables

• HPC_IQ-TREE_DIR - installation directory
• HPC_IQ-TREE_BIN - executable directory

Additional Information

There is no executable named 'iqtree' in this package starting with iq-tree/1.5.3. Use either iqtree-mpi or iqtree-omp-mpi depending on whether an MPI or a hybrid job is to be run.
