Amanita Sturgeonii Phylogenetic Alignment With Outgroup

A 53.1 KB FASTA file contains a biological sequence alignment for phylogenetic analysis of the mushroom species Amanita sturgeonii. The alignment includes closely related species from section Phalloideae and uses Amanita magnivelaris as an outgroup. It was created by Jessica Williams and last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Constructing phylogenetic trees to infer evolutionary relationships among Amanita species based on aligned sequence data.
• Comparing genetic sequences of Amanita sturgeonii against close relatives to identify conserved or divergent regions.
• Using the A. magnivelaris outgroup sequence to root phylogenetic trees and determine ancestral states within the clade.

Strengths

• Data is openly licensed under CC BY 4.0, permitting reuse with attribution.
• Includes a defined outgroup (A. magnivelaris) which is critical for rooting phylogenetic trees.
• Focuses on a specific taxonomic group (Amanita sect. Phalloideae) for targeted analysis.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 53.1 KB, indicating limited sequence data and scope.
• No information is provided on the number of sequences, aligned sites, or specific gene regions used.
• The dataset's utility is highly specialized, restricted to phylogenetic studies of this specific fungal group.
