I have to construct a phylogentic tree using nucleotide sequence data. I have used jModeltest for model testing and the best model which fits my data has been found to be the TVM+I+G, TIM3+I+G. For the construction of phylogenetic trees, I was trying RAxML/ExaML/Fast tree. But the models suggested by jModeltest are not available in these tools. How can I use those models to construct my phylogenetic tree? I found Fasttree as fastest tree construction software as my dataset is large (nearly 100 sequences of >80,000 length). Can I construct tree using the above specified model in Fasttree? Also how to do bootstrapping in Fasttree? Thanks in advance.
