A Detailed Survey on Approaches of Phylogenetic Analysis.

Abstract

All organisms have evolved from a common ancestor. The distance between these species is measured using phylogenetic analysis. It enables us to extract evolutionary relationship from sequence analysis. These relationships are depicted on phylogenetic trees. This article provides a detailed survey on different sequential approaches of sequential alignment, clustering and complete details of how a mapreduce technology improves the performance of phylogenetic analysis. A comprehensive comparison of these methods is presented in this paper.
