Abstract

Abstract: Component vector of Broussonetia papyrifera(cvtree)method is based on whole genome, without sequence alignment and phylogenetic relationships among species research methods. CVTree3 is our latest development of the CVTree network server. It is based on the core program of parallel, in order to adapt to the current increase in the amount of genomic data, it is automatically compared with the species phylogenetic relationship and classification system, and on the web page to interact with the form of display, so that the study is more intuitive. Using the CVTree3 network server, biological workers can quickly analyze the genetic relationship of the whole genome sequence, and the classification status of the preliminary identification. Due to the rational use of the whole genome information, the CVTree method can be used to identify the relationship and classification of the species with high resolution. We hope that with the cvtree method of deepening and improvement, in the future it can set out to become a tool for the definition of prokaryote phylogenetic relationships and classification system.

Key words: CVTree, prokaryotic genome, phylogenetic tree, classification system
