Phylogenetic Tree of DYX1C1
What is Protein Phylogeny?
Protein phylogeny studies the evolutionary relationships between a group of species base on protein sequences. By constructing phylogeny trees, we can learn better about how dyx1c1 has evolved over time. Protein phylogeny also provides insights among model organisms by using comparative genomics. [1]
How to construct a phylogeny?
Using aligned protein sequences of selected homologs, I used MEGA maximum likelihood (with bootstrap 500) to build the phylogeny tree.
How does DYX1C1 phylogeny look like?
Below is the phylogenetic tree based on homologs of the human DYX1C1 gene. Starting from one common ancestor, the branches diverged to today's organism.

Human DYX1C1 gene is most closely related to Gorilla, then mammals. Least associated with zebrafish.
