  • I went to the website www.phylogeny.fr. Then, I clicked 'Phylogeny analysis’, and clicked on the text ‘One Click'.
  • Then, I clicked on ‘Upload your set of sequences in FASTA, EMBL, or NEXUS format’. I copied the protein sequences from Week 4 Talk Page.
  • I used Command-V to paste my sequences in the field and clicked 'Submit".
    • In order to properly align the sequences, I first pasted them into a Word document.
  • I found the numbered tabs located just beneath the text One Click Mode, and clicked on the tab labeled 3. Alignment. Prior to this, I saw the pages named Alignment results, Phylogeny results, and Tree rendering results.
  • Positions are color-coded to indicate their conservation. Blue highlighting meant high conservation (the sequences are identical or very similar), gray highlighting means lower conservation, and white highlighting means little conservation.
  • Under Outputs, I clicked on Alignment in Clustal Format.
    • This showed my sequences with the amount of conservation indicated below them. The amount of conservation corresponded to the color-coded highlights shown above.
    • Key:
      • “*” for invariant
      • “:” for highly conserved
      • “.” for weakly conserved
      • Space for not conserved
    • Below are the class' alignments

  • Below is the phylogenetic tree created for the small animal model

  • Navigated to LALIGN, a platform used by researchers to find a percent identity for sequences.
    • Allows for the comparison of two different sequences.
  • Entered human ACE2 sequence in area called 1st Query sequence.
  • Entered one of the other sequences into the 2nd Query sequence'.
  • Clicked Run LALIGN.
  • Noted the percent similarity between the sequences.
    • Recorded this value in a table.
  • Repeated procedure for other sequences, comparing each to the human and ACE2 sequence.
  • Created a table showing the percent similarity of each organism to humans.

Aiden

  • First I copied the sequences and directions above in order to generate the sequence alignments in clustal form.
  • Next I referred to the Wan et al. 2020 paper to find the locations of critical ACE2 redidues.
  • I used the information found above to identify these critical residues for all of the aligned ACE2 sequences.
  • After doing this manually I generated the following graph highlighting variances from the human ACE2 critical residues

Taylor

  • First, I navigated to the NIH Web BLAST Homepage
  • I then clicked on the blue Protein BLAST icon towards the right of the screen
  • Next, I navigated to the first input box titled Enter Query Sequence and put in the accession numbers for the ACE2 sequences of our 9 small animal models
    • I then checked the box (located below the first input box) titled "Align two or more sequences
  • Then, in the next input box titled Enter Subject Sequence I entered the accession number for the human ACE2 sequence
  • I then clicked the blue BLAST button at the bottom of the page to run the alignment
  • I then noted and took screenshots of the following chart (found under the Descriptions tab), mainly to note the percent identity

  • I then clicked on the Alignments tab where I analyzed and took screenshots of all 9 alignments:
  • Rhesus Monkey

  • Rabbit

  • Golden Hamster

  • Chinese Hamster

  • Southern Grasshopper Mouse

  • White Footed Mouse

  • Domestic Ferret

  • Black Rat

  • Domestic Guinea Pig
