Hexa Gene Phylogeny
Analysis
Phylogenetic trees generated by 2 different programs, ClustalW2 and TreeTop, were not the same. This could be due to the limitation of the databases on aligning long sequences. I only manage to enter about 1100 nucleotides for each species. In this case, the use of partial gene sequences in alignments might cause inaccuracy. These phylogenetic trees building with gene sequences are different from those generated using protein sequences especially the phylogenetic trees created by TreeTop program.
