  4. proteins - Pros and cons of amino acid structure vs DNA sequences for ...

    Aug 9, 2017 · Any input is greatly appreciated! Question: What do you see as the strengths and weaknesses of using amino acid structure of proteins for evolutionary analysis? In your opinion, …

  5. Creating a Phylogenetic tree using DNA sequences [closed]

    I was wondering given DNA samples, how can we create a phylogenetic tree? I mean I don't even want to have actual DNA sequence. Can I generate small samples, like reads of a length 100 or 1000 of

  6. Do any diploid organisms skip DNA replication and undergo only one ...
