Abstract
ModelTest-NG is a re-implementation from scratch of jModelTest and ProtTest, two popular tools for selecting the best-fit nucleotide and amino acid substitution models, respectively. ModelTest-NG is one to two orders of magnitude faster than jModelTest and ProtTest but equally accurate, and introduces several new features, such as ascertainment bias correction, mixture and FreeRate models, or the automatic processing of partitioned datasets. ModelTest-NG is available under a GNU GPL3 license at https://github.com/ddarriba/modeltest.
