IQ-TREE
Description
IQ-TREE is a efficient and versatile phylogenomic software by maximum likelihood. The IQ-TREE software was created as the successor of IQPNNI and TREE-PUZZLE (thus the name IQ-TREE). IQ-TREE was motivated by the rapid accumulation of phylogenomic data, leading to a need for efficient phylogenomic software that can handle a large amount of data and provide more complex models of sequence evolution. To this end, IQ-TREE can utilize multicore computers and distributed parallel computing to speed up the analysis. IQ-TREE automatically performs checkpointing to resume an interrupted analysis.

Upcoming modulesystem change alert!
Due to large number of applications and their versions it is not practical to keep them explicitly listed at our wiki pages. Therefore an upgrade of modulefiles is underway. A feature of this upgrade will be the existence of default module for every application. This default choice does not need version number and it will load some (usually latest) version.
You can test the new version now by adding a line
source /cvmfs/software.metacentrum.cz/modulefiles/5.1.0/loadmodules
to your script before loading a module. Then, you can list all versions of iqtree and load default version of iqtree as
module avail iqtree/ # list available modules module load iqtree # load (default) module
If you wish to keep up to the current system, it is still possible. Simply list all modules by
module avail iqtree
and choose explicit version you want to use.
A binary executable file from version 2 and above is called iqtree2.
