Phylogenetic tree with christmassy organisms

Sequences

Processing

All programs can be called from http://mobyle.pasteur.fr/

  1. Rename labels in FASTA file to short, appropriate names
  2. Perform multiple alignment using clustalw-multialign
    • - make sure to specify PHYLIP as output format
  Run **dnadist** 
  * - maybe use Jukes-Cantor distance correction 
  Run **neighbor** to obtain a phylogenetic tree 
  Display tree using the inbuilt functionality, or [[http://lh3lh3.users.sourceforge.net/jstree.shtml|http://lh3lh3.users.sourceforge.net/jstree.shtml]] or [[http://iubio.bio.indiana.edu/treeapp/treeprint-form.html|http://iubio.bio.indiana.edu/treeapp/treeprint-form.html]] or whatever you like
