Inferring Phylogeny Based on Sequence Information

During the practical course we will use different (predominantly web-based) bioinformatical tools to search for orthologous gene and protein sequences, create multiple sequence alignments, retranslate aligned protein sequences into codon-alignments and reconstruct the phylogenetic relationship of the examined sequences. Additional exercises will be performed to elucidate the principle of phylogeny inference and to train the correct interpretation of phylogentic trees and related issues.
