Molecular analysis of plant DNA

This tutorial was developed by:
Dr Jack da Silva, University of Adelaide, and the Biomatters team
In this tutorial, you will use Geneious Prime to analyse plant DNA sequences by database searching with BLAST, building a multiple alignment and constructing an evolutionary tree.

The plant sequences provided in this tutorial are from the Fabaceae family of flowering plants. These plants are legumes and include many important food crops such as alfalfa (Medico sativa), and clover (Trifolium spp).
