Trees are commonly utilized to describe the evolutionary history of a collection of biological species, in which case the trees are called phylogenetic trees. Often these are reconstructed from data by making use of distances between extant species corresponding to the leaves of the tree. Because of increased recognition of the possibility of hybridization events, more attention is being given to the use of phylogenetic networks that are not necessarily trees. This paper describes the reconstruction of certain such networks from the tree-average distances between the leaves. For a certain class of phylogenetic networks, a polynomial-time method is presented to reconstruct the network from the tree-average distances. The method is proved to work if there is a single reticulation cycle. 相似文献

A symmetric stepwise mutation model with reflecting boundaries is employed to evaluate microsatellite evolution under range constraints. Methods of estimating range constraints and mutation rates under the assumptions of the model are developed. Least squares procedures are employed to improve molecular distance estimation for use in phylogenetic reconstruction in the case where range constraints and mutation rates vary across loci. The bias and accuracy of these methods are evaluated using computer simulations, and they are compared to previously existing methods which do not assume range constraints. Range constraints are seen to have a substantial impact on phylogenetic conclusions based on molecular distances, particularly for more divergent taxa. Results indicate that if range constraints are in effect, the methods developed here should be used in both the preliminary planning and final analysis of phylogenetic studies employing microsatellites. It is also seen that in order to make accurate phylogenetic inferences under range constraints, a larger number of loci are required than in their absence. 相似文献

Suppose G is a phylogenetic network given as a rooted acyclic directed graph. Let X be a subset of the vertex set containing the root, all leaves, and all vertices of outdegree 1. A vertex is “regular” if
it has a unique parent, and “hybrid” if it has two parents. Consider the case where each gene is binary. Assume an idealized
system of inheritance in which no homoplasies occur at regular vertices, but homoplasies can occur at hybrid vertices. Under
our model, the distances between taxa are shown to be described using a system of numbers called “originating weights” and
“homoplasy weights.” Assume that the distances are known between all members of X. Sufficient conditions are given such that the graph G and all the originating and homoplasy weights can be reconstructed from the given distances. 相似文献

In this paper, a class of rooted acyclic directed graphs (called TOM-networks) is defined that generalizes rooted trees and
allows for models including hybridization events. It is argued that the defining properties are biologically plausible. Each
TOM-network has a distance defined between each pair of vertices. For a TOM-network N, suppose that the set X consisting of the leaves and the root is known, together with the distances between members of X. It is proved that N is uniquely determined from this information and can be reconstructed in polynomial time. Thus, given exact distance information
on the leaves and root, the phylogenetic network can be uniquely recovered, provided that it is a TOM-network. An outgroup
can be used instead of a true root. 相似文献

An Evaluation of Genetic Distances for Use with Microsatellite Loci 总被引:49,自引:8,他引:41
Mutations of alleles at microsatellite loci tend to result in alleles with repeat scores similar to those of the alleles from which they were derived. Therefore the difference in repeat score between alleles carries information about the amount of time that has passed since they shared a common ancestral allele. This information is ignored by genetic distances based on the infinite alleles model. Here we develop a genetic distance based on the stepwise mutation model that includes allelic repeat score. We adapt earlier treatments of the stepwise mutation model to show analytically that the expectation of this distance is a linear function of time. We then use computer simulations to evaluate the overall reliability of this distance and to compare it with allele sharing and Nei's distance. We find that no distance is uniformly superior for all purposes, but that for phylogenetic reconstruction of taxa that are sufficiently diverged, our new distance is preferable. 相似文献

Statistical properties of the symmetric stepwise-mutation model for microsatellite evolution are studied under the assumption that the number of repeats is strictly bounded above and below. An exact analytic expression is found for the expected products of the frequencies of alleles separated by k repeats. This permits characterization of the asymptotic behavior of our distances D(1) and (δμ)(2) under range constraints. Based on this characterization we develop transformations that partially restore linearity when allele size is restricted. We show that the appropriate transformation cannot be applied in the case of varying mutation rates (β) and range constraints (R) because of statistical difficulties. In the special case of no variation in β and R across loci, however, the transformation simplifies to a usable form and results in a distance much more linear with time than distances developed for an infinite range. Although analytically incorrect in the case of variation in β and R, the simpler transformation is surprisingly insensitive to variation in these parameters, suggesting that it may have considerable utility in phylogenetic studies. 相似文献

DNA聚合酶X家族系统发育树的重建 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
随着DNA聚合酶X家族成员数量的增加,特别是两个昆虫痘病毒(entomopoxvirus,EPV)成员的加入,家族内部的系统发育关系需要重新检查。总共37个来自不同物种的DNA聚合酶x家族成员的核心结构域序列被分析。结果显示:系统发育树呈现的家族内部系统发育关系基本上与家族成员的物种分布状态相吻合,其中,病毒成员与真核生物DNA聚合酶beta(polβ)亚群构成姐妹群,提示病毒成员可能起源于真核细胞的相应基因。亚群的歧异时间、基因结构比较和同线基因保守性分析显示,哺乳动物DNA聚合酶基因(Pol M)可能起源于脱氧核苷酸末端转移酶基因(TdT)最近发生的基因重复。 相似文献

利用DNA序列构建系统树的方法介绍 总被引:14,自引:0,他引:14
利用DNA序列进行系统发生分析是分子进化研究的必要手段。构建系统树的方法有距离法、简约法、最大似然法以及贝叶斯推断法等。要解决特定的系统发生问题,首先要挑选合理的分类群及序列,尽量减少数据的偏倚,然后选择构树方法,最后还要对结果进行评价并给出进化学上的解释。本文讨论了挑选数据的原则及存在的问题,介绍了几种构树方法的基本原理及步骤,并列举了它们的优缺点。Abstract: Construction of phylogenetic trees is a key means in molecular evolutionary studies. The methods of constructing phylogenetic trees include the distance-based methods, parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian inference methods. To resolve a special problem about phylogeny, several notices are necessary: first, to select the reasonable data at less bias as possible; second, to choose the proper method to reconstruct phylogenetic tree; third, to evaluate the conclusions and explain them on the field of evolution. The present paper provides a brief introduction of the principles of data selection and tree-construction methods, and discusses about their advantage and disadvantage points. 相似文献

It is well known that phylogenetic trees derived from different protein families are often incongruent. This is explained by mapping errors and by the essential processes of gene duplication, loss, and horizontal transfer. Therefore, the problem is to derive a consensus tree best fitting the given set of gene trees. This work presents a new method of deriving this tree. The method is different from the existing ones, since it considers not only the topology of the initial gene trees, but also the reliability of their branches. Thereby one can explicitly take into account the possible errors in the gene trees caused by the absence of reliable models of sequence evolution, by uneven evolution of different gene families and taxonomic groups, etc. 相似文献

Böcker and Dress (Adv Math 138:105–125, 1998) presented a 1-to-1 correspondence between symbolically dated rooted trees and symbolic ultrametrics. We consider the corresponding problem for unrooted trees. More precisely, given a tree T with leaf set X and a proper vertex coloring of its interior vertices, we can map every triple of three different leaves to the color of its median vertex. We characterize all ternary maps that can be obtained in this way in terms of 4- and 5-point conditions, and we show that the corresponding tree and its coloring can be reconstructed from a ternary map that satisfies those conditions. Further, we give an additional condition that characterizes whether the tree is binary, and we describe an algorithm that reconstructs general trees in a bottom-up fashion. 相似文献

We suggest a new procedure to search for the genes with horizontal transfer events in their evolutionary history. The search is based on analysis of topology difference between the phylogenetic trees of gene (protein) groups and the corresponding phylogenetic species trees. Numeric values are introduced to measure the discrepancy between the trees. This approach was applied to analyze 40 prokaryotic genomes classified into 132 classes of orthologs. This resulted in a list of the candidate genes for which the hypothesis of horizontal transfer in evolution looks true. 相似文献

The construction of a dendogram on a set of individuals is a key component of a genomewide association study. However, even with modern sequencing technologies the distances on the individuals required for the construction of such a structure may not always be reliable making it tempting to exclude them from an analysis. This, in turn, results in an input set for dendogram construction that consists of only partial distance information, which raises the following fundamental question. For what (proper) subsets of a dendogram’s leaf set can we uniquely reconstruct the dendogram from the distances that it induces on the elements of such a subset? By formalizing a dendogram in terms of an edge-weighted, rooted, phylogenetic tree on a pre-given finite set X with |X|≥3 whose edge-weighting is equidistant and subsets Y of X for which the distances between every pair of elements in Y is known in terms of sets of 2-subsets of X, we investigate this problem from the perspective of when such a tree is lassoed, that is, uniquely determined by the elements in . For this, we consider four different formalizations of the idea of “uniquely determining” giving rise to four distinct types of lassos. We present characterizations for all of them in terms of the child-edge graphs of the interior vertices of such a tree. Our characterizations imply in particular that in case the tree in question is binary, then all four types of lasso must coincide. 相似文献

Wistar is the oldest rat strain to be introduced in biomedical research, and various stocks of this strain are maintained
in laboratories across the globe. The Wistar strain maintained in our facilities is 85 years old and is not typed genetically
so far. Recently, two obese mutant rat strains evolved from this stock, one with euglycemia and the other with impaired glucose
tolerance. These mutant rat strains, along with the parental Wistar stock and two other rat strains maintained in our facilities
(WKY and F-344), were subjected to PCR-based DNA fingerprinting using microsatellite markers to evolve molecular signatures
unique to them. Of the 96 markers screened, we identified a marker, leukosianin, that shows polymorphism between the strains
tested and thus appears to be quite useful for rat strain identification. Also, the microsatellite data generated were subjected
to hierarchical cluster analysis to generate a dendrogram and to estimate the phylogenetic closeness and distance between
the rat strains tested. It was observed that the Wistar strain and its mutants maintained in our facility are genetically
distinct and phylogenetically separate from the other two standard strains WKY and F-344. 相似文献

Transmission events are the fundamental building blocks of the dynamics of any infectious disease. Much about the epidemiology of a disease can be learned when these individual transmission events are known or can be estimated. Such estimations are difficult and generally feasible only when detailed epidemiological data are available. The genealogy estimated from genetic sequences of sampled pathogens is another rich source of information on transmission history. Optimal inference of transmission events calls for the combination of genetic data and epidemiological data into one joint analysis. A key difficulty is that the transmission tree, which describes the transmission events between infected hosts, differs from the phylogenetic tree, which describes the ancestral relationships between pathogens sampled from these hosts. The trees differ both in timing of the internal nodes and in topology. These differences become more pronounced when a higher fraction of infected hosts is sampled. We show how the phylogenetic tree of sampled pathogens is related to the transmission tree of an outbreak of an infectious disease, by the within-host dynamics of pathogens. We provide a statistical framework to infer key epidemiological and mutational parameters by simultaneously estimating the phylogenetic tree and the transmission tree. We test the approach using simulations and illustrate its use on an outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease. The approach unifies existing methods in the emerging field of phylodynamics with transmission tree reconstruction methods that are used in infectious disease epidemiology. 相似文献
