Exercise 10B

Phylogenetic Trees Revisited

Use the same five related proteins from Exercise 9B. Construct a phylogenetic tree again using PileUp, Distances, and Growtree. This time, choose the UPGMA algorithm (instead of the default neighbor-joining) when running Growtree. Print out the diagram of the trees, as well as the *.trees file. Interpret the numbers in the *.trees file, and explain how they are obtained.
