Sequence alignments for phylogenetic trees produced in a manuscript. The files include a nucleotide alignment of the dinoflagellate luciferase gene (lcf), an amino acid alignment of the same gene, and an amino acid alignment for the luciferin binding protein (lbp). Michael I Latz authored the dataset, which was last updated on May 26, 2026.
Use Cases
- Construct phylogenetic trees based on nucleotide alignments of the luciferase gene.
- Analyze protein evolution based on amino acid alignments of the luciferase gene.
- Study protein-protein interactions using alignments of the luciferin binding protein.
- Perform comparative genomics on bioluminescence-related genes across species.
Strengths
- Files are provided in the FASTA format, a standard for sequence data.
- The dataset includes both nucleotide and amino acid alignments for comparative analysis.
- The dataset is licensed under CC-BY-4.0, facilitating open reuse.
Limitations
- The dataset is 38.2 KB, indicating a very limited scope and likely a small number of sequences.
- Row count and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
Provenance
- Source
- figshare
- Collection Method
- Likely generated from sequence analysis for a specific manuscript.
