WEIGHTED NETWORK ANALYSIS OF OUT-GROUP CANDIDATES IN A PHYLOGENETIC TREE OF B. BASSIANA

The investigation of phylogenetic tree dendrograms in the concept of weighted networks is essential not only for the analysis of the sequence homology of strains but also for the importance of strains considered to be nodes of the network. For instance, weighted centrality measures of any phylogenetic tree indicate the lower scores for the out-groups having less homology with the in-group making it considered to be ineffective for a dendrogram design. However biological usages have revealed the case in a different way. Relative to the relevant DNA region, this paper proposes detailed assumptions that the network structure of phylogenetic trees has a great reviewability on a bridge between close and distant out-groups. We demonstrate our computations on a verified phylogenetic tree of the entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana (Balsamo-Crivelli) Vuillemin, whose diversity and distribution were assessed throughout an extensive soil survey carried out in Turkey during 2013 and 2014.
