Summary Introduction

The composite tree of eukaryotes tells about the phylogenetic relationship between the organisms at the different level of evolutionary phases. The relationships between the super-groups of eukarya can be represented in the form of a phylogenetic tree. The tree which is formed after the determination of sequences of 16S (Swedberg unit) ribosomal RNA genes is referred as ribosomal RNA based tree.
