Systematics Taxonomy Phylogeny and Evolution Systematics The systematic

Systematics, Taxonomy, Phylogeny and Evolution Systematics The systematic classification of organisms, the science of systematic classification and the methods of classification Taxonomy Naming and classifying organisms in an ordered system indicating natural relationships Carl Linnaeus (1707 – 1778) Linnaeus set about classifying living organisms into natural groups and arranged them in a hierarchical system

. . , Phylogeny and Evolution Phylogeny The sequence of events involved in the evolutionary development of a species or taxonomic group Evolution The process through which a population of organisms accumulates genetic changes enabling them to adapt to their environment or ecological niche Charles Lyell (1797 – 1875) geologic change is the steady accumulation of minute changes over enormously long spans of time Charles Darwin (1809 – 1882) Evolution – descent with modification Ernst Haeckel (1834 – 1919) First used the term phylogeny and constructed a tree

A tree from Darwin’s notebook Probably Haeckel’s most famous tree An early tree of life from Haeckel

Could limit to Mycobacterium? May not know how similar related sequences are – may need to experiment May not know how many relevant sequences

BLAST computes a pairwise alignment between a query and the database sequences searched. It does not explicitly compute an alignment between the different database sequences (i. e. , does not perform a multiple alignment). For purposes of this sequence tree presentation an implicit alignment between the database sequences is constructed, based upon the alignment of those (database) sequences to the query. It may often occur that two database sequences align to different parts of the query, so that they barely overlap each other or do not overlap at all. In that case it is not possible to calculate a distance between these two sequences and only the higher scoring sequence is included in the tree.
