A nucleotide sequence analysis of cytochrome oxidase I (COI) gene fragment from parasitic unionicolid mites is performed in this paper. The aligned nucleotide fragment is 664bp (including gaps) in length, including 374 conserved sites, 284 variable sites, 73 conversion sites, 51 transpose sites. The conversion sites are much higher than the transpose sites with a conversion transpose ratio (si/sv) of 1.4. The percentages of A+T and G+C are 64.6% and 35.4% in the nucleotide sequence which indicates a strong AT bias. From the sequence analysis of COI gene, the relationship between Unionicola chelata and Unionicola arcuate are the farthest among all the parasitic unionicolid mites while the relationship between Unionicola ischyropalpus and U.arcuata are the closest. Using U.crassipes as an outgroup, the phylogenetic trees are reconstructed with maximum likelihood(ML) and neighbor-joining(NJ) inferences (PAUP4.0b10 tool), and the results show that U.arcuata is the more evoluted speciesand Unionicola agilex might be the first separated from ancestral species.

Building evolutionary trees can be an excellent way for students to see how different gene sequences or organisms are related to one another. Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) software is a free package that lets anyone build evolutionary trees in a user-friendly setup. There are several options to choose from when building trees from molecular data in MEGA, but the most commonly used are neighbor joining and maximum likelihood, both of which give good estimates on the relationship between different molecular sequences. In this article, we describe how to collect data from GenBank, insert the data into a text editor, import the data into MEGA, and use the dataset to create phylogenetic trees.
