Phylogeny
A phylogenic tree could not be produced in ClustalW, MUSCLE, Phylogeny.fr, or T-COFFEE. Unlike the Fgfr2 protein, the gene is far too long for these programs to align the sequences and create a tree. Below is part of a tree, complete with bootstrap numbers, produced by Treefam of the Fgfr family including Fgfr2. To see the Fgfr2 protein phylogeny click here.
