Construction of Phylogenetic Tree

Studying evolutionary aspects, by the construction of phylogenetic trees from the pairwise differences between sequences for example, the classification with 70S, 30S RNAs established the separate kingdom of archaea... 

Despite the potential limitations, the PCR has provided an invaluable means to study not only viral variants but also gene polymorphisms and evolution. The construction of phylogenetic trees based on comparing the sequences of homologous genes in many different species has been significantly facilitated by PCR techniques. 

Recent applications of Kohonen self-organizing maps include construction of phylogenetic trees from sequence information (Wang et al., 1998) predicting cleavage sites in protein (Cai et al., 1998a) prediction of beta-turns (Cai et al., 1998b) ...

From Table 13.1, it should be clear that the numerical characterizations mentioned in Table 13.1 relate to graphical bioinformatics, to numerical characterizations that facilitate comparative studies of DNA and result in a similarity/dissimilarity table, which is the basis for construction of phylogenetic trees. None of the numerical... 

Since we did not have a program for the construction of phylogenetic trees at the moment the sequence work was completed [13] we prepared a simplified table of mutation distances (Table 2). We statistically averaged the values for subtilisins, thus forming one subtilisin, and constructed a simplified phylogenetic tree (Figure 5). As expected, subtilisin and thermitase as representatives of the procaryotes form one branch. This...
