Abstract |
Comparative sequence analysis is widely used for the reconstruction of phylogeny and for understanding the evolutionary history of gene families. Here, we describe the methodologies to reconstruct the phylogenetic and evolutionary history of a gene family across genomes with a focus on the ARGONAUTE (AGO) family of proteins in plants. The method described here may easily be adapted for studying molecular evolution of a wide variety of gene families. We enlist methods as well as parameters for the collection of molecular data (nucleic acids and peptides), preparation of datasets, and selection of evolutionary models and various methods for the phylogenetic and evolutionary analysis, such as maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference. |
