BLM gene Phylogeny
Phylogenetic tree constructed via Phylogeny.fr website, "One-click mode"
Below is a phylogenetic tree generated using TreeTop - Phylogenetic Tree Prediction
Analysis
Phylogenetic trees created using 2 different programs, Phylogeny. fr and TreeTop, were not the same. This could be because of the limitation of the databases on aligning long sequences, therefore I only managed to enter ~1050 nucleotides for each species. Using partial gene sequences in alignments might cause inaccuracy. Notably, these phylogenetic trees building with gene sequences are very much different from those generated using protein sequences. Please refer to Protein Phylogeny page for more information.
