====== Tutorial 5 - UPGMA, Neighbor Joining ====== ===== Problem 1 - UPGMA ===== Using UPGMA reconstruct the phylogenetic three that is consistent with the given data.\\ Assume a set of sequences ''A = {a, b, c, d, e}'' and the corresponding distance matrix //D//. How can you compute the distance matrix D? ^ D ^ a ^ b ^ c ^ d ^ e ^ ^a | 0 | | | | ^b | 12 | 0 | | | ^c | 12 | 4 | 0 | | ^d | 12 | 6 | 6 | 0 | ^e | 12 | 6 | 6 | 2 | 0 | - Check the assumption for UPGMA - Reconstruct the phylogenetic tree using UPGMA ===== Problem 2 - NJ ===== Using NJ reconstruct the phylogenetic three that is consistent with the given data.\\ In this case, assume a set of sequences ''A = {a, b, c, d}'' and the corresponding distance matrix //D//. ^ D ^ a ^ b ^ c ^ d ^ ^a | 0 | | | | ^b | 4 | 0 | | | ^c | 10 | 8 | 0 | | ^d | 9 | 7 | 9 | 0 | Similarly to the previous problem: - Check the assumption for NJ - Reconstruct the phylogenetic tree using NJ
