1) The LCS code is provided in a file called lcs.py

2) To test lcs.py, one must pass in a command line argument that represents the file name that is being read from.
    To execute lcs.py:
        python lcs.py <filename>

3) There are two programs utilized to generate the phylogenetic tree: GenerateTree.py and GenerateLcsMatrix.py. A python script called script.py is provided to run these programs. The filename containing the protein sequences must be passed in as a command line argument.
  To execute script.py:
    python script.py <filename>
  
The phylogenetic tree that is generated is contained in a file called "PyhlogeneticTreePicture.png".
  
4) Our description of part 3 is located in "Part3DescriptionOfOurAlgorithmAndSoftware.txt".

5) Our comparison between our tree which is found in PyhlogeneticTreePicture.png and the tree found on https://www.ebi.ac.uk/Tools/msa/clustalo/ for part 4 is located in "Part4ComparingOurDataWithTheWebsite.txt".
    A comparison between the two graphs can be found in this file: 4110_assignment3_trees.pdf
    
6) Our description for the Tulp3 gene for extra credit is located in "extraCredit.txt"
