FastTree 2 – Approximately Maximum-Likelihood Trees for Large Alignments
Open accessAbstract
BACKGROUND: We recently described FastTree, a tool for inferring phylogenies for alignments with up to hundreds of thousands of sequences. Here, we describe improvements to FastTree that improve its accuracy without sacrificing scalability. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Where FastTree 1 used nearest-neighbor interchanges (NNIs) and the minimum-evolution criterion to improve the tree, FastTree 2 adds minimum-evolution subtree-pruning-regrafting (SPRs) and maximum-likelihood NNIs. FastTree 2 uses heuristics to restrict the search for better trees and estimates a rate of evolution for each site (the "CAT" approximation). Nevertheless, for both simulated and genuine alignments, FastTree 2 is slightly more accurate than a standard implementation of maximum-likelihood NNIs (PhyML 3 with default settings). Although FastTree 2 is not quite as accurate as methods that use maximum-likelihood SPRs, most of the splits that disagree are poorly supported, and for large alignments, FastTree 2 is 100-1,000 times faster. FastTree 2 inferred a topology and likelihood-based local support values for 237,882 distinct 16S ribosomal RNAs on a desktop computer in 22 hours and 5.8 gigabytes of memory. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: FastTree 2 allows the inference of maximum-likelihood phylogenies for huge alignments. FastTree 2 is freely available at http://www.microbesonline.org/fasttree.

![Figure 1 Local support values for splits found by PhyML with SPR moves and/or FastTree. We examined local support values for the splits inferred by PhyML 3.0 with + SPRs on simulated alignments with 250 protein sequences. We classified PhyML's splits as correct and found by both PhyML and FastTree, correct but missed by FastTree, or incorrect. We show the distribution of support values for each class. The right-most bin includes the strongly supported splits (0.95 to 1.0), and the gray dashed line shows the uniform distribution. The support values are PhyML's minimum of the approximate likelihood ratio test [21] and SH-like [16], [17] local supports.](/paper-figures/8d86db71595b4c3189b248ede78bcc3f/fasttree-2-approximately-maximum-likelihood-trees-for-large-alignments-figure-1.jpg)

“On the other hand, FastTree was found to be much faster than RAxML and PhyML but reported lower likelihood scores for data sets with both small and large numbers of sequences (Guindon et al. 2010; Price et al. 2010; Liu et al. 2011).”

“So far, these four programs have only been evaluated using simulated data (Guindon et al. 2010; Price et al. 2010; Liu et al. 2011), and empirical data sets with wide ranges of taxon numbers (e.g., up to 237,882 taxa in Price et al. [2010]) but relatively small numbers of genes (from ∼10 [Price et al. 2010; Liu et al. 2011; Chernomor et al. 2016] to ∼200 [Guindon et al. 2010; Money and Whelan 2012”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
