DESCRIPTION:Phylogenetic trees represent evolutionary history\, by showing
  the course of evolution of species from genomic sequences. These trees ca
 n reveal connections between different species as well as characterise new
  unknown sequences in the tree-of-life. With the decreasing cost of high-t
 hroughput sequencing\, characterisation of unknown sequences seems to be a
  popular question. I will present a case study on characterising a single 
 sequence using phylogeny\; a step-by-step guide of constructing a phylogen
 etic tree using software framework for phylogenetic analysis\, EPoS. We wi
 ll cover BLAST\, Multiple Sequence Aligment (MSA)\, reconstruction of cons
 ensus trees and  comparing the generated tree to the tree-of-life. For you
 r interest\, we will also provide supplementary materials which you can vi
 sit to learn more techniques and gain a deeper understanding of the underl
 ying theory of tree generation. \n
