Hello all, I am a beginner user learning how to use IQtree for simple ML analyses of 2 gene-alignments (invertebrate mitochondrial COI + ribosomal 28 S) and am having some trouble coding the partition for the COI. #nexus I attach the output of this failed run I understand the solution must be something simple, but I can't find what it is from the tutorials, since I inform IQTree that my COI sequences must be read with the invertebrate mitochondrial genetic code and I add all 3 reading frames of the gene, and had it sized to be multiple of 3 (original alignment size was 658, I cut one position to be readable as Codon). |

The reason is due to CODON5 datatype. Please change all CODON5 to DNA and it should work.
If you want to know the reason: For CODON data types IQ-TREE will use codon models, which need the full coding sequence in the partition to convert every tri-nucleotide into non-stop codon states and apply a 61x61 substitution matrix for the analysis. Note: I don't know why your partitions 1-3 ends at 657? Probably a typo? If you write this, then site 658 will be ignored from the analysis. |

However, you have partitioned the data into codon positions, each will be modelled using a DNA substitution model. Therefore you have to use DNA datatype for all partitions.
