http://tree.bio.ed.ac.uk/software/seqgen/

Software program that simulates the evolution of nucleotide or amino acid sequences along a phylogeny using common models of the substitution process. A range of models of molecular evolution are implemented, including the general reversible model. State frequencies and other parameters of the model may be given and site-specific rate heterogeneity may also be incorporated in a number of ways. Any number of trees may be read in and the program will produce any number of data sets for each tree.

http://www.molecularevolution.org/software/phylogenetics/jmodeltest

Software tool used to carry out statistical selection of best-fit models of nucleotide substitution without the aid of PAUP*. It implements five different model selection strategies: hierarchical and dynamical likelihood ratio tests, Akaike and Bayesian information criteria, and a decision theory method. It also provides estimates of model selection uncertainty, parameter importances, and model-averaged parameter estimates.
