Phylogenetics Projects - Fall, 2015

Did horizontal transfer contribute to colonization of the human eye by Streptococcus pneumoniae?

• Project description
• Milestone 1
• Sequences   Your project sequences is in the file yourFirstName.fasta in the Sequences directory. For example, Pieter's sequence is in the file Pieter.fasta
• Guide to working with nucleic adid sequences
• Tree resources
• Species tree (nwk)
• Locus tag -> Species (txt)
• FigTree Free software for displaying and manipulating trees.
• Background
  • Powerpoint
  • Phylogenomics and the Dynamic Genome Evolution of the Genus Streptococcus,  Richards, et al., 2014.   See Fig. 1, p. 745, for a phylogeny of the Streptococci.
  • Molecular features of the sortase enzyme family,  Bradshaw, et al., 2015.   See Table 1 for a list of cell wall signaling sequences.
