Comparing sequences

Here, we will compare aligned sequences. We will perform gene and genome-wide comparisons.

Getting ready

We will use DendroPy and will require the results from the previous two recipes. As usual, this information is available in the corresponding Notebook at Chapter06/Comparison.ipynb.

How to do it...

Take a look at the following steps:

1. Let's start analyzing the gene data. For simplicity, we will only use the data from two other species of the genus Ebola virus that are available in the extended dataset: the Reston virus (RESTV) and the Sudan...
