Phylogenetic Analysis:Constructing a Phylogenetic Tree

A Tutorial for Generating a Phylogenetic Tree:Simplest and Comprehensive guide

As I have explained earlier in my last video,how to install a MEGA Software.Now moving to the next step that is generating a phylogenetic tree.So In this video,I am talking about how to generate a tree using this Software.

Step wise Representation for generating a Phylogenetic Tree

  • Acquiring the Sequences

MEGA5 opens its own browser window to show a BLAST page from National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) from where it gets the sequences.


  • Alligning the Sequence
The next step is allignment of the sequences that we have downloaded from NCBI in FASTA format.Two methods can be used for Multiple Sequence Allignment : 
  • Muscle
  • CLUSTAL W



  •  Estimating a PhylogeneticTree


There are several widely used methods for estimating phylogenetic trees
  1. Neighbor Joining
  2.  UPGMA
  3.  Bayesian Inference
  4.  Maximum Likelihood ML
  • Presenting a Phylogenetic TREE

A drawing of a phylogenetic tree conveys a lot of information, both explicit and implicit.

PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS: ROOTED AND UNROOTED TREES

BASIC GUIDELINE TO UNDERSTAND ROOTED AND UNROOTED TREES IN PHYLOGENETICS   What is a  PHYLOGENETIC TREE? Phylogenetic trees represent hypothesis about the evolutionary relationships among a group of organisms. A phylogenetic tree may be built using morphological (body shape), biochemical, behavioral, or molecular features of species or other groups.In building a tree, we organize species into nested groups based on shared derived traits (traits different from those of the group's ancestor). HOW TO DRAW A PHYLOGENETIC TREE? In a phylogenetic tree, the species of interest are shown at the tips of the tree's branches. The branches themselves connect up in a way that represents the evolutionary history of the species that is, how we think they evolved from a common ancestor through a series of divergence (splitting-in-two) events.For more details watch the video below: THANK YOU

A BIOINFORMATICS SOFTWARE FOR MULTIPLE SEQUENCE ALLIGNMENT

Phylogenetic Analysis:A tutorial for  how to  Install MEGA Software In this video,I have explained about the installation of MEGA Software step wise. MEGA SOFTWARE MEGA is a useful software in constructing phylogenies and visualizing them, and also for data conversion. Features  It can easily convert Alignment files to PHYLIP. The MEGA tree explorer is helpful in editing trees very easily, subtrees can also be selected and edited separately. The input formats are NEWICK, PHYLIP, MEGA, and NEXUS. The Phylogenetic tree can also be converted in newick format.
