在植物的系统与进化研究中,相对于叶绿体和核基因片段来说,线粒体基因片段由于其分辨率较低、结构复杂而较少应用到系统学研究中。本研究选用nad1基因的第2内含子序列探讨了稻族Oryzeae的系统发育关系,并着重分析了单型属Porteresia的系统学位置,并在此基础上探讨了nad1基因内含子序列的系统学意义以及空位性状在系统发育重建中的价值。本研究结果支持将稻族分为两个亚族(Oryzinae和Zizaniinae)的处理,稻族中假稻属Leersia与稻属Oryza最近缘,Porteresia coarctata不应该单独成属而应处理为稻属的成员。本研究表明,nad1第2内含子具有一定的系统发育信息,尤其是在较高分类等级的系统发育重建中具有较大价值;同时表明空位的合理利用将在已有序列信息基础上提供更多的系统发育信息。  相似文献

简单INDEL编码与其它空位编码方法的比较   总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0  
不同的系统发育重建算法以不同的方式编码空位,但是不同的编码方式对系统发育分析结果的影响并不清楚.介绍了一种新的空位编码方式--简单indel编码,并将它与将空位编码成丢失的数据和编码成第5性状作了比较.统计分析表明,简单indel编码的确比将空位编码成丢失的数据更有效,但是与将空位编码成第5性状相比两者结果差异不大.而且,随着空位含量的降低,简单indel编码发挥的作用也减少.  相似文献

随着生物技术的不断发展和系统发育学的深入研究, 在重构系统发育树时, 研究人员往往要面对更多的挑战和困难, 比如: (1)需要分析的样本数(物种数或个体数)不断增加; (2)需要分析的数据量迅速扩大。尤其在基因组测序技术的推动下, 基于分子信息的系统发育重建需要极大的计算量, 因此数学方法、 计算机技术以及其他辅助工具对于系统发育重建的效率和精确度起着至关重要的作用。最大简约法(maximum parsimony)是一种重要的系统发育重建方法, 提高其计算效率对系统发育学研究具有重要意义, 针对该算法的优化改进需要生物学家和计算机专家的共同努力。本文通过详细地阐述最大简约法的计算流程, 分析其参数选择对计算效率的影响, 帮助更多的计算机使用者, 在并不了解系统发育学基础的情况下, 更方便地针对实际的系统发育算法问题给出更好、 更快、 更精准的解决方案; 同时为系统发育研究工作者, 较为清晰地解释最大简约法的构树思想和计算逻辑, 推动针对最大简约法的不断改进与优化。  相似文献

传统植物区系地理学研究主要以植物区系的分类群组成及其分布区类型的分析为主,忽视了进化历史的分析。本文根据前期云南植物区系的分区研究,基于云南种子植物1,983个属的系统发育关系,结合其地理分布,从进化历史的角度分析不同地理单元的分类群组成、系统发育组成及其相似性,探讨各个地理单元的系统发育结构及地理单元间的系统发育相似性。结果表明:云南植物区系不同地理单元的系统发育多样性与科或属的丰富度显著相关,其系统发育结构为非随机型;不同地理单元间的系统发育组成相似性与分类群组成相似性显著相关,二者的聚类分析均表明具有热带植物区系性质的地理单元与具有温带植物区系性质的地理单元各自聚为一类。由此可见,融合进化历史信息的植物区系分析有助于更加深入地理解植物区系的性质和来源。  相似文献

The relative performance of indel-coding methods in simulations   总被引:2,自引:1,他引:1  
We used simulations to compare the performance of 10 approaches that have been used for treating unambiguously aligned gaps in phylogenetic analyses. We examined how these approaches perform under the ideal conditions of correct alignments, as well as how robust they are to errors caused by use of inferred alignments. Our results indicate that 5th-state coding dramatically outperformed all other coding methods, which in turn all outperformed treating gaps as missing data or excluding gapped positions. Simple indel coding (SIC) and modified complex indel coding (MCIC) performed about the same, and generally outperformed the other indel-coding methods. The high performance of 5th-state coding was largely found to be a weighting artifact. We suggest that MCIC-coded gap characters be scored for all unambiguously aligned gaps in parsimony-based molecular phylogenetic analyses. When the number of terminals sampled precludes the use of MCIC, SIC may be used as an effective substitute.  相似文献

Goicoechea, N., De La Riva, I. & Padial, J. M. (2010). Recovering phylogenetic signal from frog mating calls. —Zoologica Scripta, 39, 411–154. Few studies have tried to analyse the phylogenetic information contained in frog mating calls. While some of those studies suggest that sexual selection deletes any phylogenetic signal, others indicate that frog calls do retain phylogenetic informative characters. Discordant results can be the outcome of disparate rates of character evolution and evolutionary plasticity of call characters in different groups of frogs, but also the result of applying different coding methods. No study to date has compared the relative performance of different coding methods in detecting phylogenetic signal in calls, hampering thus potential consilience between previous results. In this study, we analyse the strength of phylogenetic signal in 10 mating call characters of 11 related species of frogs belonging to three genera of Andean and Amazonian frogs (Anura: Terrarana: Strabomantidae). We use six quantitative characters (number of notes per call, note length, call length, number of pulses per note, fundamental frequency and dominant frequency) and four qualitative ones (presence/absence of: pseudopulses, frequency modulation in notes, amplitude modulation in notes and amplitude modulation in pulses). We code quantitative characters using four different coding and scaling methods: (i) gap‐coding, (ii) fixed‐scale, (iii) step‐matrix gap‐weighting with between‐characters scaling, and (iv) step‐matrix gap‐weighting with between‐states scaling. All four coding methods indicate that frog calls contain phylogenetic information. These results suggest that divergent selection on frog mating calls may not always be strong enough to eliminate phylogenetic signal. However, coding methods strongly affect the amount of recoverable information. Step‐matrix gap‐weighting with between‐characters scaling and gap‐coding are suggested as the best methods available for coding quantitative characters of frog calls. Also, our results indicate that the arbitrariness in selecting character states and the method for scaling transitions weights, rather than the number of character states, is what potentially biases phylogenetic analyses with quantitative characters.  相似文献

A preliminary analysis of the sequence alignment of the chloroplast intergene atp beta-rbcL in tribe Valerianeae reveals that insertion-deletion evolutionary events ('indels'), combined with nucleotide substitutions, have occurred in large zones in some of the studied taxa. Due to the frequent occurrence and large size of indels within this tribe, intergene length varies from 531 to 788 base pairs within the studied species. This situation poses gap coding problems that we had to tackle before phylogenetic analysis. Four methods of gap coding were used: elimination of gapped sites ('complete omission'), 'missing data', 'fifth base' and Barriel's coding method, which translates indels into new multistate characters in the data matrix. After application of these four methods of data treatment, phylogenetic analyses (maximum parsimony) did not lead to very different results. Three robust clades emerged in each case, corresponding to the Centranthinae subtribe (genus Centranthus), the Fediinae subtribe (genera Fedia and Valerianella), and the American species of Valeriana. The theoretical basis and biological significance of these four methods are discussed in order to apply the best ones in future studies.  相似文献

Two different methods of using paralogous genes for phylogenetic inference have been proposed: reconciled trees (or gene tree parsimony) and uninode coding. Gene tree parsimony suffers from 10 serious problems, including differential weighting of nucleotide and gap characters, undersampling which can be misinterpreted as synapomorphy, all of the characters not being allowed to interact, and conflict between gene trees being given equal weight, regardless of branch support. These problems are largely avoided by using uninode coding. The uninode coding method is elaborated to address multiple gene duplications within a single gene tree family and handle problems caused by lack of gene tree resolution. An example of vertebrate phylogeny inferred from nine genes is reanalyzed using uninode coding. We suggest that uninode coding be used instead of gene tree parsimony for phylogenetic inference from paralogous genes.  相似文献

Insertion and deletion events (indels) provide a suite of markers with enormous potential for molecular phylogenetics. Using many more indel characters than those in previous studies, we here for the first time address the impact of indel inclusion on the phylogenetic inferences of Arctoidea (Mammalia: Carnivora). Based on 6843 indel characters from 22 nuclear intron loci of 16 species of Arctoidea, our analyses demonstrate that when the indels were not taken into consideration, the monophyly of Ursidae and Pinnipedia tree and the monophyly of Pinnipedia and Musteloidea tree were both recovered, whereas inclusion of indels by using three different indel coding schemes give identical phylogenetic tree topologies supporting the monophyly of Ursidae and Pinnipedia. Our work brings new perspectives on the previously controversial placements among Arctoidea families, and provides another example demonstrating the importance of identifying and incorporating indels in the phylogenetic analyses of introns. In addition, comparison of indel incorporation methods revealed that the three indel coding methods are all advantageous over treating indels as missing data, given that incorporating indels produces consistent results across methods. This is the first report of the impact of different indel coding schemes on phylogenetic reconstruction at the family level in Carnivora, which indicates that indels should be taken into account in the future phylogenetic analyses.  相似文献

Both traditional as well as 10 more recent methods of coding characters from exons of protein‐coding genes are reviewed. The more recent methods collectively blur the distinction between nucleotide and amino‐acid coding and enable investigators to carefully quantify the effects of different sources of phylogenetic signal as well as their potential biases. Codon models, which explicitly model silent and replacement substitutions, are a major advance and are expected to be broadly useful for simultaneously inferring recent and ancient divergences, unlike amino‐acid coding. Degeneracy coding, wherein ambiguity codes are used to eliminate silent substitutions at the individual‐nucleotide level, has clear advantages over scoring amino‐acid characters. Nucleotide, codon, and amino‐acid models are now directly comparable with easy‐to‐use programs, and widely used phylogenetics programs can analyze partitioned supermatrices that incorporate all three types of model. Therefore, it should become standard practice to test among these alternative model types before conducting parametric phylogenetic analyses. An earlier study of 78 protein‐coding genes from 360 green‐plant plastid genomes is used as an empirical example with which to quantify the relative performance of alternative character‐coding methods using five quantification measures. Codon models were selected as having the best fit to the data, yet were outperformed by nucleotide models for all five quantification measures. Third‐codon positions were found to be an important source of phylogenetic signal and even outperformed analyses of first and second positions for some measures. Degeneracy coding generally performed at least as well as amino‐acid coding and is an arguably more effective alternative.  相似文献

It has been argued that continuous characteristics should be excluded from cladistic analysis for two reasons: because the data are considered inappropriate; and because the methods for the conversion of these data into codes are considered arbitrary. Metric data, however, fulfill the sole criterion for inclusion in phylogenetic analysis, the presence of homologous character states, and thus cannot be excluded as a class of data. The second line of reasoning, that coding methods are arbitrary, applies to gap and segment coding, but quantitative data can be coded in a nonarbitrary manner by means of tests of statistical significance. These procedures, which are both objective and repeatable, determine the probability that two taxa possess an homologous character state; that is, if they have inherited a particular central tendency and distribution of individual variates unchanged from a common ancestor. Thus, the application of statistical tests to quantitative data empirically detects the presence of evolu tionary change, the raw material of phylogenetic reconstruction.  相似文献

The effects of different coding practices in morphological phylogenetic analysis are well documented. In many cases, we can determine that certain practices can be regarded as undesirable and should be avoided. Certain coding practices do not correctly translate the expected information to the cladistic algorithm. It may go unnoticed that expressions of character information in character lists, which may be entirely logical to any reader, do not necessarily reflect the mathematics employed by a phylogenetic algorithm. Despite a wealth of literature on coding procedures and documentation of these issues, problematic character coding practices are still common. A review is provided of different coding and character formulation practices, particularly relating to multistate character information that may either: (1) lead to a failure to capture grouping information implied in the character list; (2) cause problematic weighting or spuriously high certainty in particular optimizations; and (3) impose congruence artificially, by linking more than one variable character to a particular state. Each of these is reviewed and presented with a hypothetical example. Recommendations for avoiding these pitfalls are described in light of how parsimony algorithms work with character data. Character lists must be drawn up not only to present character variation logically, but also with consideration for how computer algorithms implement cladistic logic. The widespread use of problematic character coding procedures may account for some of the perceived problems with morphological data. Therefore, an exploration of the effects of these methods and standardization of methods should be a goal for the very near future. © 2011 The Linnean Society of London, Biological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2011, 104 , 489–498.  相似文献

Are Third Positions Really That Bad? A Test Using Vertebrate Cytochrome b   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
In the analysis of coding DNA sequences for phylogenetic purposes 3rd positions are commonly downweighted, or excluded, and 2nd positions are likewise given high weight. The basis of this is a belief that the larger numbers of 3rd position substitutions imply a larger amount of misleading information than the slowly evolving 2nd positions. This paper tests this assertion by splitting 10 vertebrate data sets into three parts consisting of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd positions only. The relative performance of these data sets was tested by a number of suggested methods for assessing the phylogenetic content in a data set. Contrary to the prediction, the relative performance was 3rd > 1st > 2nd. This implies that a downweighting of 3rd positions in favour of 2nd positions is not supported by the analyses of their phylogenetic content. There are several reasons to believe that the overall amount of change is a poor predictor of the level of homoplasy and these are discussed. The overall conclusion is that unless there is solid evidence that 3rd positions really are misleading, they should not be treated so by default.  相似文献
