Lysozyme phylogenetic analysis

Figure 13.4. Phylogenetic analysis with WebPhylip. The phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences encoding lysozyme precursors is performed with WebPhylip by maximum likelihood method.

Phylogenetic analysis of amino acid sequences of c-type egg-white lysozymes from a variety of birds is generally in accord with taxonomic classification. However, there are some differences For example, the chachalaca is classified normally in the order Galliformes, but its lysozyme differs more in sequence from those of pheasandike birds than do the c-type lysozymes of ducks (for a discussion of this and other examples, see Jolles and Jolles, 1984). 

Figure 18.2 Phylogenetic tree representations. Phylogenetic analysis (parsimony) of lysozyme sequences is condncted with Phyhp. Phylogenetic trees (constructed with Tree View) are represented as radial (A), slanted cladogram (B) or rectangular cladogram (C)...
