# Molecular Evolution and Phylogeny
Supporting material for the Feb 27, 2020 lecture in the ['Chemistry & Biology of Pathogens' special seminar course](https://d2l.msu.edu/d2l/home/992472)!

## Learning Objectives
- Intro to computational evolutionary biology
- Molecular Evolution & Phylogeny
- Comparative Pathogenomics
- In class hands-on demo for two most useful tools: [BLAST](https://github.com/jananiravi/2020-molevol-phylogeny#blast) & [Interproscan](https://github.com/jananiravi/2020-molevol-phylogeny#interproscan)
- For this, please explore the tools below | web-versions for the 'how' + papers to orient you on the 'why' & 'what'
- Example input files in the [data](https://github.com/jananiravi/2020-molevol-phylogeny/tree/master/data) folder: fasta + saved BLAST search strategy.
- We will address your Qs + use these with the web-tools in class on Thursday!

## Interproscan
- **The tool**: https://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/search/sequence/
- [Example run](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/result/InterProScan/iprscan5-R20200227-014609-0200-91060680-p1m/)
- [Interpreting InterProScan results](https://www.ebi.ac.uk/interpro/help/tutorial/)
- **Papers**:

**InterProScan 5: genome-scale protein function classification.** _Jones et al.,_ Bioinformatics. 2014 May 1;30(9):1236-40. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btu031. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24451626

**InterPro in 2017-beyond protein family and domain annotations.** _Finn et al.,_ Nucleic Acids Res. 2017 Jan 4;45(D1):D190-D199. doi: 10.1093/nar/gkw1107. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27899635
- **Wiki**: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InterPro

## BLAST
- **All BLAST Tools**: https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi
- [Example run](https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?CMD=Get&RID=5E7UXJ5101R)
- [Interpreting BLAST results](https://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pub/factsheets/HowTo_BLAST_NewResultPage.pdf)
- **Protein BLAST**: https://blast.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Blast.cgi?PAGE=Proteins
- **Original paper** (harder to read):

**Basic local alignment search tool.** _Altschul SF, Gish W, Miller W, Myers EW, Lipman DJ._ J Mol Biol. 1990 Oct 5;215(3):403-10. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2231712.
- **Easier to read paper**:

**Steps Used by the BLAST Algorithm.** _Mount DW._ CSH Protoc. 2007 Jul 1;2007:pdb.ip41. doi: 10.1101/pdb.ip41. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21357114
