The assignment involves constructing and analyzing evolutionary relationships among primates using a nuclear gene. It requires working with MEGA X software to perform tasks such as aligning DNA sequences, creating phylogenetic trees, and evaluating the reliability of these trees. Starting with DNA sequences provided in FASTA format, you must align them properly, choose a suitable substitution model, and construct a Maximum Likelihood tree with bootstrap analysis for branch support. The results are then compared to an existing published phylogenomic tree, with an evaluation of any differences and suggestions for additional species to improve reliability. The analysis extends to translating the DNA sequences into proteins, performing similar alignment and tree-building steps, and visualizing results as a cladogram with humans at the top and an outgroup at the bottom. The assignment emphasizes accuracy, clear documentation, and adherence to academic integrity, with answers limited to 750 words and a declaration of any AI or tools used. It combines technical skills with a scientific approach to studying primate evolution.
