Using an appropriate model of amino acid replacement is very important for the study of
protein evolution and phylogenetic inference. We have built a tool for the selection of the
best-fit model of evolution, among a set of candidate models, for a given protein sequence
alignment. Availability: ProtTest is available under the GNU license from http://darwin. uvigo.

Summary: Using an appropriate model of amino acid replacement is very important for the study of protein evolution and phylogenetic inference. We have built a tool for the selection of the best-fit model of evolution, among a set of candidate models, for a given protein sequence alignment.
