Phylogenetic Analysis of Salmonid Fishes Using rDNA

菲利普斯博士将研究进化关系 北美，欧洲和亚洲鳟鱼之间的关系， 三文鱼 这将通过获得DNA序列的数据来完成 核糖体RNA基因的限制性技术 作图和DNA测序。 利用这些数据， 将被建造。 这棵树将与树木相比 通过分析其他数据获得，包括以下信息： 形态学、染色体和线粒体DNA。 的所有数据 将被合并到一个单一的树，这将说明 目前的假设是， 这些重要的鱼类。

Dr. Phillips will investigate the evolutionary relationships between the North American, European, and Asian trouts and salmon. This will be done by obtaining data on the DNA sequence of the ribosomal RNA genes using techniques of restriction mapping and DNA sequencing. Using these data a phylogenetic tree will be constructed. This tree will be compared with trees obtained from the analysis of other data including information on morphology, chromosomes and mitochondrial DNA. All of the data will be combined into a single tree which will illustrate the current hypothesis for the evolutionary relationships between these important fishes.
