Why Do We Classify Organisms?
Biologists group organisms to represent similarities and proposed relationships.
Classification systems change with expanding knowledge about new and well-known organisms.

Swedish scientist who laid the foundation for
modern taxonomy

Systematics:Evolutionary Classification of Organisms
Systematics is the study of the evolution of biological diversity, and combines data from the following areas.
Fossil record Comparative homologies Cladistics Comparative sequencing of DNA/RNA among
organisms Molecular clocks

Protein BLAST Instructions
Go To BLAST website http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/
Click on “protein blast”
Enter the accession number for human cytochrome B protein (NP_536855.1)
Paste the other cytochrome B accession numbers into the “Entrez Query” box
This will limit our comparison to only the mitochondrial records we specify here
Click BLAST!
Click on “Distance tree of results” Select “Taxonomic Name” under “Sequence Label” Select the “Slanted” tab to view a cladogram style
CytB BLAST Tree (local alignment)
Multiple Sequence Alignment
Go to align.genome.jp
Copy and paste the Cytochrome B sequences
Make a dendrogram with distances

Nucleotide BLAST Instructions
Go To BLAST website http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/blast/
Click on “nucleotide blast” Enter the accession number for human mitochondrial genome
(NC_001807) Select database “Reference genomic sequences”
This will make sure we search within only genomic records Paste the other mitochondrial accession numbers into the
“Entrez Query” box This will limit our comparison to only the mitochondrial
records we specify here Click BLAST! Click on “Distance tree of results”
