how to specify a model selected previously with -m TEST options?

[Ruben9161]

I performed a TESTMERGEONLY analysis.

what command should i use in the command line to specify a model file previously selected with the -m TESTMERGEONLY???

Is the -spp option (version 1) enough?

thanks for your answer

Hi @Ruben9161

Provided iqtree2 version 2.2.0, and example files data.faa and data.partitions, try

iqtree2 -s data.faa -p data.partitions -m TESTMERGEONLY --prefix modfind
iqtree2 -s data.faa -p modfind.best_scheme -m modfind.best_model.nex -B 1000 --prefix uboot

Thanks @nylander! I'm going to leave this issue open and add this note that I should put examples of specifying existing models on the recipes page.

Good idea @roblanf ! I do believe such an example is lacking from the otherwise extensive documentation regarding iqtree.

I'll close as this issue is resolved.
