Review of Phylogenetic Tree Construction

چکیده
Motivation: Phylogenetic tree construction is a complex yet important problem in the field of bioinformatics. Once constructed, a phylogenetic or evolutionary tree can lend insight into the evolution of different species. The issue is that for a large number of species the problem grows to a computational complexity that is not easily solved. For this reason, new methods are being researched and applied to phylogenetic tree construction and have provided some promising results. Two topics of interest for this paper are the use of Ant Colony Optimization and Particle Swarm Optimization both of which are based on algorithms discovered from studding the pat-

Phylogenetic analysis of HSP70 gene of Aspergillus fumigatus reveals conservation intra-species and divergence inter-species
Aspergillus fumigatus is a saprophyte fungus, widely spread in a variety of ecologicalniches and the most prevalent aspergilli responsible for human and animal invasiveaspergillosis. The first step to develop novel and efficient therapies is the identificationand understanding of the key tolerance and virulence factors of pathogens. The mainfocus of the present study is to perform the similarit...
متن کاملQuantitative Comparison of Tree Pairs Resulted from Gene and Protein Phylogenetic Trees for Sulfite Reductase Flavoprotein Alpha-Component and 5S rRNA and Taxonomic Trees in Selected Bacterial Species
Introduction: FAD is the cofactor of FAD-FR protein family. Sulfite reductase flavoprotein alpha-component is one of the main enzymes of this family. Based on applications of this enzyme in biotechnology and industry, it was chosen as the subject of evolutionary studies in 19 specific species. Method: Gene and protein sequences of sulfite reductase flavoprotein alpha-component, 5S rRNA sequence...

The problem in phylogenetic tree construction, is to find the tree which best describes the relationship between a set of objects. We are mostly interested in the case when the objects are species or taxa. carrot whale chimpanzee human Figure 5.1: Phylogenetic tree of 4 species Phylogenetic Tree Construction is based on Cladistics, the systematic classification of groups of organisms on the bas...

Background: The intestinal tract of human can be infected by protozoan parasites. In this short communication, the stool samples were collected from patients with diarrhea referred to Kut hospital, Iraq, and then the parasites (Giardia lamblia, Entamoeba histolytica, Cryptosporidium parvum) were considered for molecular identification. Methods: Stool samples were collected from 69 patients wit...
