RAxML

RAxML (Randomized Axelerated Maximum Likelihood) is a software tool used by scientists to determine the most probable evolutionary relationships among different species or genes based on their genetic data. It employs advanced algorithms to analyze genetic sequences and construct detailed "family trees" called phylogenies. By efficiently handling large datasets, RAxML helps researchers understand how species are related and trace their evolutionary history with high accuracy. It is widely used in biological research to study biodiversity, evolution, and the origins of life.
