Phylogenetic analysis on family chiroptera using cytochrome B gene sequences.

There are about 1,240 species of Chiroptera that have been divided into two suborders:
the less specialized and largely fruit-eating megabats, or flying foxes, and the highly
specialized and echolocating microbats. DNA sequences of 23 species subfamily
Vespertilioninae of Chiroptera that used mitochondrial cytochrome b gene to evaluate
phylogenetic relationships between genera was obtained from GenBank NCBI
database and were successfully aligned. The analysis of phylogeny to obtain the
confidency value of each model and to compare the differences between phylogenetic
methods in estimating ancestry of samples of each model involved the method of
Neighbor-Joining, Minimum Evolution, Maximum Parsimony, Maximum Likelihood
and Bayesian Inference. All 63 partial cytochrome b sequence fragments with at least
1,000 bp linear DNA were run through five different methods of phylogeny analysis
methods. Phylogeny tree were successfully constructed for each model and were
summarised accordingly with its bootstrap value.
