Who the fuck?

Dear all,

I'm currently writing my master dissertation under the supervision of Jens. I read the announcement of FastTree 2 in the mail this week, and it would greatly help me, as I have to build a few thousand trees in a rather short time frame. I'm not afraid of figuring out how it works myself, but if anybody has some tips, they are greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance

Joris

We announce FastTree 2, a tool for inferring approximately maximum-likelihood trees for large alignments.  FastTree is more accurate than PhyML 3's default settings and 100-1,000 times faster than PhyML or RAxML. FastTree analyzed an alignment of >200,000 16S ribosomal RNAs in a day on a desktop computer.

Models: Jukes-Cantor or GTR (nucleotide) or JTT (amino acid)
Rate variation across sites: the CAT approximation (1 rate per site)
Support values: local SH-like supports (or global bootstrap)

FastTree 2 is available at
