How can you use “phylogeny” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Although recent studies on the phylogeny of ribosomal proteins suggest some horizontal transfer events, these seem to be largely restricted to bacteria-specific ribosomal proteins.
Genome content trees have been calculated based on the presence and absence of genes [ 14 15 16 ] or types of protein folds [ 17 ] . While there is limited agreement between genome and rRNA phylogeny, at present it remains unclear whether this similarity is based on shared ancestry of part of a less frequently exchanging genome core [ 18 ] , or if the apparent congruence is itself the result of horizontal gene transfer [ 19 ] .
We compared the relationship of the TMC gene structures by performing cluster analysis of distances using the kitsch algorithm of the PHYLIP Phylogeny Inference Package [ 16 ] http://bioweb.pasteur.fr/seqanal/phylogeny/intro-uk.html.
The resulting phylogeny is in reasonable agreement with the ribosomal rRNA phylogeny, the main exception being the placement of Desulfurococcus.
Thus, the common name field could be very useful to identify organisms and phylogenetically related organisms when you don't know their genus/species organism name or the phylogeny for that group of organisms.
