## Phylogenetic analysis of dormouse tapeworm samples

Pipeline for determining species of tapeworm discovered in Hazel dormouse (*Muscardinus avellanarius*) using 18S and 28S PCR amplified sequences.

### Stages

1. NCBI BLAST amplified sequences against Cyclophellyidea species (txid6201) [MANUALLY]

2. NCBI BLAST amplified sequences against Caryophyllidea species (txid108240) [MANUALLY]

3. Align with MAFFT-QINISI each amplified sequence against BLAST results

4. Combine into single supermatrix

5. Use RAxML to create tree with Caryophyllidea outgroup and partition by gene

The scripts provided here perform stages 3-4. Original data not provided.

### Requirements

* Python

* Biopython

* MAFFT

* RAxML

* UNIX

### Running

```{bash}

run.sh >& log.txt

```

```

### Run history

BLAST results were downloaded from NCBI manually from 04-05/2015

run.sh was run on Imperial College London's bioinformatics server: codon.bioinformatics.ic.ac.uk (05/2015)
