What we have learned about the Deinococcus Genera

Different Phylogenetic Methods Yield Different Clades

We extrapolated the evolutionary relationships between the species using 1) Feature Frequency Profile comparisons, 2) 16S rRNA alignments, and 3) Mauve genome alignment, but each method yielded an alternative result.
By sequencing more species in this family, we hypothesize that Inclusion of a larger set of sequenced species in the genera may elucidate new and more reliable information about their origins and cladistics.

Disparate Trees Resulting From Too Little Genetic Information
