NAME

garli - phylogenetic analysis of molecular sequence data using maximum-likelihood

SYNOPSIS

garli [OPTION] [config filename]

DESCRIPTION

GARLI, Genetic Algorithm for Rapid Likelihood Inference is a program for inferring phylogenetic trees. Using an approach similar to a classical genetic algorithm, it rapidly searches the space of evolutionary trees and model parameters to find the solution maximizing the likelihood score. It implements nucleotide, amino acid and codon-based models of sequence evolution, and runs on all platforms. The latest version adds support for partitioned models and morphology-like datatypes.

OPTIONS

interactive mode (allow and/or expect user feedback)
batch mode (do not expect user input) (batch is the default for the version you are running)
print version information and exit
print this help and exit
run internal tests (requires dataset and config file)
validate: load config file and data, validate config file, data, starting trees and constraint files, print required memory and selected model, then exit

NOTE: If no config filename is passed on the command line the program will look in the current directory for a file named "garli.conf"
