Neighbor-joining phylogenetic tree of 18 s rRNA gene sequences of Neonectria sp. DH2 and its taxonomic neighbors. Aspergillus oryzae was used as the outgroup. The evolutionary history was inferred using the Neighbor-Joining method. The evolutionary distances were computed using the Maximum Composite Likelihood method and are in the units of the number of base substitutions per site. The analysis involved 35 nucleotide sequences. Codon positions included were 1st + 2nd + 3rd + Noncoding. All positions containing gaps and missing data were eliminated. There are 235 positions in the final dataset. Evolutionary analyses were by MEGA7
