RAxML

RAxML [1] (Randomized Axelerated Maximum Likelihood) is a popular program for phylogenetic analysis of large datasets under maximum likelihood. Its major strength is a fast maximum likelihood tree search algorithm that returns trees with good likelihood scores. Since the last RAxML paper (Stamatakis, 2006), it has been continuously maintained and extended to accommodate the increasingly growing input datasets and to serve the needs of the user community. In the following, I will present some of the most notable new features and extensions
