PHYLOGENETIC ANALYSIS OF HISTONE H3 PROTEIN IN CHARYBDIS LUCIFERA

Monika M. and Shoba K.*

ABSTRACT

A single male adult specimen of the indo pacific portunid crab charybdis lucifera. Colour yellowish brown with two large white spots on either branchial region, chefipeds scarlet pink, the tips light brown, extreme tips whitish. The species is met with on both coasts of india, Ceylon, java and siam. The nucleotide and protein sequence of histone h3 from charybdis lucifera is retrived from NCBI database. The highly expressed genes are selected on the basis of CAI value using ACUA tool. Similarity search was carried out for highly expressed gene sequence. Finally the phylogenetic and evolutionary relationship of highly expressed sequences were done through using Amigo, t-coffee.,etc.

Keywords: Histone h3, NCBI, ACUA, t-coffee, highly expressed sequence, CAI value, phylogenetic analysis.
