RAxML version 7.0.0 now available with many new features



Dear Users of RAxML,

You are receiving this message since in the past you have expressed your interest in using RAxML.

If you do not want to receive this information any more please accept my apologies and just send
an empty Email with subject "remove from RAxML-list" to Alexandros.Stamatakis@epfl.ch such that I
can remove you from this mailing list.

RAxML has recently been updated and is now available for download as RAxML-7.0.0 at
icwww.epfl.ch/~stamatak/ (software frame) together with the Manual (v7.0.0).

Some of the most important new features are:

- A rapid Bootstrapping algorithm, that is on average 15 times faster than the
  current RAxML Bootstrapping algorithm, while yielding qualitatively comparable
  results.
- A novel, more efficient, fine-grained parallelization that is based on Pthreads
  instead of OpenMP. It is also easier to compile and intended for use on
  shared-memory machines and multi-core architectures.
- RAxML can now analyze heterogeneous datasets that comprise concatenated sequences
  of DNA and AA data.
- Option to perform a per-partition optimization of branch lengths.


In addition, there are many more less important new options that are listed at
http://icwww.epfl.ch/~stamatak/index-Dateien/Page443.htm and on the first page
of the Manual.

Comments and suggestions are always welcome.

Best regards,

Alexis
