Use PhyloGenes to find the gene family that contains your gene and find what is known about that gene family

  1. Go to phylogenes.org

  2. Type your favorite gene (i.e. LOC107914949) into the Search box

  3. To locate and center your gene within the tree, type the gene (LOC107914949) into the Search box right above the tree

    • You can pan the tree to move it up and down

    • You can click on a node that you are not interested to collapse it

  4. To check out gene info in the data table, use the horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of the data table to see all columns.

  5. Find the yellow circle under subheader ‘ammonium transmembrane transporter activity’ for gene AMT1-1, Arabidopsis thaliana, then click on the yellow circle to see what experiment and citation support the presence of that function in the gene.
