0000893: trees between group
I have 5 groups of protein obtained from various species.
I would like draw a tree that display the overall distance between each specie (i.e a tree with only 5 taxa corresponding to each of my species)
Currently, the tree that I can obtain using MEGA X is quite mess with all the proteins mixed and sorted according to their homogy.
Mega is able to calculate a distance matrix between each species but I can't find where to generate a tree using those information.
Can you help?
No tags attached.

Hi Anthony,

I am writing in response to your question regarding the MEGA software. From your question it sounds like you want to generate a tree where sequence data are grouped by species. To do so you can do the following:

    Compute between-group distances for your data
    Export the distance matrix to a MEGA formatted file (.meg)
    Open the .meg file in MEGA
    Construct a Neighbor-Joining, Minimum Evolution, or UPGMA tree.
