Phylogenetics: back to basics dataset

<p>This dataset is associated with the Galaxy Training Network tutorial "Phylogenetics: back to basics".</p> <p>It contains a subset of anolis lizard DNA sequences, from Jackman, Larson, de Queiroz &amp; Losos (Phylogenetic Relationships and Tempo of Early Diversfication in Anolis Lizards; Systematic Biology 1999 48(2):254-285; <a href="https://doi.org/10.1080/106351599260283">https://doi.org/10.1080/106351599260283</a>). DNA sequences were obtained from Genbank.</p> <p>The sequences are from the mitochondrial NADH dehydrogenase subunit 2 gene (ND2) and five transfer RNA (tRNA) genes, with an average sequence length of 1419.109 and a range of [1329,1727].&nbsp;</p> <p>We are using a small set of sequences because phylogenetic estimation on many sequences is computationally very intensive, and can take weeks of time even on a high-performance computer. It is not uncommon for a phylogenetic analysis to span hundreds, or even thousands, of taxa.</p> <p>Files in this record:</p> <ul> <li>anolis-raw.fst : FASTA file of raw, unaligned sequences</li> </ul> <p>This Galaxy Training Network tutorial&nbsp; &lsquo;Phylogenetics: back to basics&rsquo; was developed by Professor Michael Charleston from the University of Tasmania in collaboration with Australian BioCommons.&nbsp;</p> <p>Contact: training@biocommons.org.au</p> <p>Version notes: anolis-raw.fst file updated to remove blank line at the beginning of the file.&nbsp;</p>
