Abstract: - The phylogenetic trees signify the association between a group of species, DNA or protein sequences, and play essential roles in genetic heredity research. The soaring excellence tree edifice relies deeply on most favourable multiple sequence alignment (MSA), which supports more sequence simultaneously to derive the similarity. The alternatively, a superior tree be able to used to guide the MSA process. In this work,to construct the phylogenetic tree using MAFFT. Here to construct the
