Ebola-Virus Phylogeny Tree

Introduction to Bioinformatics Course final project
In this project we extracted different ebola-virus species genes.
and based on their distance matrices build some phylogenetic trees
at the end estimated when was the first ebola-virus back in time

Java Code

  • Extraction of ebola-virus species genes based on Marburg-virus genes (Global-Local Alignment).
  • Calculating edit distance of every two Ebola Species for each gene and saving theme as .CSV files.
  • UPGMA algorithm is also implemented for testing

R Code

Phylogeny tree based on following option:

  • Distance matrices of Each gene
  • Distance matrix of global alignment of genomes
  • Combining gene trees (UPGMA and Neighbor Joining Algorithm were used)
