carboxylesterases classification into subfamilies

Hi!

I want to classify the carboxylesterases genes into subfamilies. There are about 17 subfamilies for these gene, but it is varying a lots in different species. so it is hard to find reference species to plot a tree. Is there a good method other than a tree?

Many Thanks!

The answer is no. Trees are the definitive way to visualise protein family relationships

Even though protein families are defined in terms of evolutionary history, you may also classify them according to protein domains and / or sequence features.
