Hi folks,



first of all I am not a biologist but I'm interested in this topic.

I have read some papers where analysis of cytochrome b protein was used for phylogenetic analysis. Ok so far, but I do not really understand which characters of the cytochrome b make specimens distinguishable. Could someone please give me a hint on this?



Lets say I have a part of a sequence like:



1 atgccccacc actacatttt aaccctattt ggtctcctac

1 atgccccacc actacattct aaccctattc ggccttctgc

1 atgccccacc attacatcct aaccctgttc ggcctcctac

1 ccactacatt ctaaccctat ttggccttct accagtagca

1 ccactacatc ttaaccctat ttggtctctt acctgtagca



.... and so on...



Are similar/distinct base pairs counted here or what?



Thanks a lot for help!



Cheers,

Wulf
