Abstract:Using the 18S (partial), ITS1 (Internal Transcribed Spacer 1), 5.8S, ITS2 (Internal Transcribed Spacer 2) regions of the genomic SSU (small subunit) DNA, we are able to use basic bioinformatics tools to create an effective phylogenetic tree. Sanger sequencing produces a 1.2–1.5 kb region for each individual species that is annotated into four elements, (partial 18S, ITS1, 5.8S, and ITS2) and is formatted for stand‐alone MAFFT v6.903b (Multiple Alignment using Fast Fourier Transform). The multiple alignment is … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
