Part A: Using PAUP* to check your answers for homework #2

  • Create a NEXUS data file containing the data for the one DNA site you examined for homework assignment #2. To do this, start PAUP*, cancel the opening dialog box (because you have not created a file to open yet), then select File > New from the main menu to create an empty file. Referring to the description of a nexus data block from the previous lab, build a NEXUS file containing 4 taxa and 1 character corresponding to the data in homework assignment #2. Be sure to save the file, giving it a name like homework2.nex.
