  1. Aromatase and Kryptolebiasmarmoratusby J. Newsome http://www.itrainsfishes.net/content/biotopes/mangrove.php

  2. Background • Aromatase is an enzyme critical in sexual determination • Converts androgen to estrogen • Conserved across all vertebrates and mammals • Located in the brain, ovary, and testes • This study assesses protein alignment and evolutionary relationships between Kmar and other Teleosts

  3. Materials and Methods • Obtained sequence from NCBI • Taxonomy report • Saved in FASTA format • Put sequences in SEAVIEW • Converted to Protein • Aligned Protein Sequence • Used RaxML • Determined Bootstrap values • Input into Figtree • Graphical representation of evolutionary relationship

  4. Results Protein Alignment

  5. Results Aromatase Tree

  6. Results Concatenated Tree

  7. Conclusion • Similar protein structure when Kmar compared to other Teleosts • Teleosts evolved at similar rates • Kmar and Medaka closely related • Evolved at similar evolutionary rates • Out-group evolved separately
