Screenshot of Molecular Taxonomy

Organisms have a hierarchical structure for taxonomy. This diagram shows the comparison of a single protein (ADH) from about 50 organisms, arranged in a tree structure. Every orange text links to a protein sequence (not shown). In this picture, ASCOMYCOTINA and DEUTEROMYCOTINA can be seen to be siblings under FUNGI.
