AVM BIOL368 Week 4
From OpenWetWare
Purpose
- To continue with our class research and journal projects for the Markham et al. paper
- Continue to learn about sequencing and the similarities and differences
Methods and Results
Part 1
- Upload the “visit_1_S1_S9.txt” and “visit_1_S10_S15.txt” files from the BIOL368/F16 Week 4 page into the Biology Workbench
- Generate a multiple sequence alignment using ClustlW
- Choose 3 clones form 4 different subjects (as shown in table below)
- Photo of tree shown below
- Notice that the clones from each subject group together
- In subject 3, mutation 3 is more diverse than mutations 1 and 2, which are more closely related
- Also note that some of the subjects cluster together (clones from subjects 1 and 2)
- Subject 4 clones may be more related to subjects 1 and 2
- This tree shows that Subject 1 and 2 have very closely related viruses, and within this virus, mutations 1 and 2 of subject 2 are most closely related to mutation 3 of subject 1. All of the mutations of subject 4's virus are most closely related to each other and the mutations of subject 3 are most closely related to each other.
Part 2
- Select a sequence form last weeks assignment and align all of the clones
- Calculate S from the alignment
- S is the number of positions where there is at least one nucleotide difference across the clones
- Save the alignment for later use
- Run an analysis for two more subjects
- Table below shows results from these analysis
- Calculate theta for each subject
- (use wolfram alpha for these calculations)
- Within the Clustdist tool generate a distance matrix for one of your alignments
- Choose the highest and lowest pairwise scores and find the % difference
- Repeat this step for each subjec
