ClustalW Gene Alignment


Figure 1: The alignment was obtained from MEGA using ClustalW alignment. The gene sequences of different organisms were aligned to observe similarity, which is represented by the star on top of the alignment. A strong alignment is a result of high similarity. This image is only a portion of the complete alignment.

Maximum Likelihood Tree
Figure 2: The gene tree was obtained from MEGA. On the right end of all branches are the organisms' genes that were compared.To the left of the tree branches are the bootstrap values. The tree shows statistical accuracy, because all the bootstrap values are higher than 70.

ClustalW Protein Alignment
 Figure 3: The Alignment was obtained from MEGA using ClustalW alignment. The Protein sequences of different organisms were aligned to observe similarity, which is represented by the star on top of the alignment. A strong alignment is a result of high similarity. This image only a portion of the complete alignment

Maximum Likelihood Protein Tree
 Figure 4: The Protein tree was obtained from MEGA. On the right end of all branches are the organisms' proteins that were compared.To the left of the tree branches are the bootstrap values. The tree shows statistical accuracy, because all the bootstrap values are higher than 70.

STRING Protein Structure
 Figure 5: This structure was obtained from STRING database. The protein made by the gene ATP7B can be seen as a red circle in the center. To the left of the image a network can be observed, all the proteins involved in that network help in the processing of excess copper. SLC31A1 and SLC31A2 are high affinity copper transporter proteins. They transport copper to COX17. COX17 is a copper chaperon protein, which carries copper to ATOX1. Copper is then transported to ATP7B from ATOX1.
