for each alignment (1). Estimates of phylogeny and inferences of pos-itive selection were sensitive to alignment treat-ment. Confirming previous studies showing that alignment method has a considerable effect on tree topology (12–14), we found that 46.2% of the 1502 ORFs had one or more differing trees depending on the alignment procedure used.
Both of the human genes involved have been cloned and gene therapy is of potential use in the treatment of both diseases. Cystic fibrosis is due to a mutation in a gene that codes for a chloride channel protein in the cell membranes of epithelial cells. This protein regulates the secretion of chloride ions from the epithelial cells. If the
