Abstract IQ-TREE (http://www. iqtree. org, last accessed February 6, 2020) is a user-friendly
and widely used software package for phylogenetic inference using maximum likelihood.
Since the release of version 1 in 2014, we have continuously expanded IQ-TREE to
integrate a plethora of new models of sequence evolution and efficient computational
approaches of phylogenetic inference to deal with genomic data. Here, we describe notable
features of IQ-TREE version 2 and highlight the key advantages over other software.
