  1. Morphological and Genetic Tree Building Lori Bergeron and Debra Dunlop New England College

  2. Goals and Objectives • NEC Biology Departmental Learning Goals • Increase student knowledge and application of genetics, evolution, and phylogeny • Empower students to do own projects • Objectives • Incorporate bioinformatics into Gen Bio, Zoology, Genetics and Senior Science Seminar • Reinforce across the curriculum • Assess student learning

  3. The organismsgenomes have been sequenced Gallus gallus Xenopustropicalis Branchiostomafloridae (lancelet) Gadusmorhua Equuscaballus Petromyzonmarinus lamprey

  4. Methods Compare 6 different organisms using 5 characters (hair, egg, legs, jaws and vertebrae).Construct a similarity matrix based on morphology and build a tree.

  5. Methods continued • Students • will align a gene and/or protein from the 6 organisms (18s rRNA and others) • Construct a tree • Compare morphological tree with genomic based tree. • Discuss! • Assess
