This is a test that covers the ViPR use case for protein with a defaultprotein matrix settingsetting: tool=RAXMLHPC2_TGB vparam.runtime_=168 (we use cipres run wall time as suggested by you) vparam.bootstrap_seed_=0 vparam.bootstop_= vparam.dna_gtrcat_=GTRGAMMA for dna sequences; for protein sequences, we use the following two: vparam.prot_sub_model_=PROTGAMMA vparam.prot_matrix_spec_= At present we must set vparam.bootstrap_seed_=0 Generates this command line: raxmlHPC-PTHREADS -n result -s infile.txt -m PROTGAMMADAYHOFF -p 12345 '
