Multiple Alignment
From a possible 100 FASTA sequences, were cut down to 31. The process of elimination was conducted by the deletion of sequences with too many bp before and after the sample sequence, followed by the deletion of sequences with large segments of gaps in conserved and variable regions of the sequence alignment. Fascin domains were found via a protDOM search and compared to the remaining sequences.
Phylogency Trees
Neighbor-method with Bootstrap values (1 = 100) Results were run at 500 replications
Neighbor-method with Bootstrap values, compressed. Sequences with below 50 were deleted.
