BlackBox RAxML- what tree search (branch swap) method is used?

03 March 2018 0 7K Report

Hi there,

I am using the online rapid bootstrap RAxML to run ml for my data. I cannot find out what branch swap method (i.e. NNI, SPR or TBR) RAxML uses. The manual is confusing/unclear and I haven't had much luck finding similar questions in the RAxML google forum. Does anyone know please? Thanks in advance!
