Exercise 3. Create a phylogeny to try to understand the evolutionary history of mammals related to the giant panda using the gene Leptin. Introduction: Did you know that it is required that every gene that is sequenced and published must be made fully accessible on the internet. What that means is you can look up any gene online. Today we will use the NCBI website: The National Center for Biotechnology Information to first find a gene in giant Pandas and then we will use a feature on the NCBI website called BLAST which measures the degree of gene sequence similarity between various types of organisms. Once we have identified these gene sequences we will use them to build a phylogeny to figure out which animals are most closely related to giant Pandas. 1. First make a guess and label this phylogenetic tree to include: Giant Pandas, Bears, Sea Lions and Cats. Showing which are most closely related to one another: 1 2-Now do a search on the gene Leptin. What is its function? Regulation of body weight
