29 The late Margaret Dayhoff Responsible for the first computer-produced molecular phylogeny (1966), the start of protein sequence databases (1965), the recognition of gene families (1960s-1970s) Molecular evolution p.29/49

30 Morris Goodman Using immunological methods with proteins, defined the human-chimp-gorilla clade (1962), later pioneered work on evolution of gene families, especially the globin family. Molecular evolution p.30/49

31 The late llan Wilson With Vincent Sarich, supported the human-chimp-gorilla clade. dvocated use of the molecular clock by which they dated the divergence of these species to 5 million years ago. Later (as we shall see) found the tree of human mitochondria, whose ancestor was mitochondrial Eve. Molecular evolution p.31/49

35 Just who are you calling an ape? Old world monkeys Orangutan Chimp Bonobo Humans Gorilla Gibbon New world monkeys Molecular evolution p.35/49

36 Molecular phylogenies Some examples of other important conclusions from molecular phylogenies: Using immunological distances, Morris Goodman (1962 on) and later Wilson and Sarich (1966) show that humans, gorilla, and chimps were a clade. Wilson and Sarich (in that work, 1967) date the divergence of humans to 5 million years. Charles Sibley and Jon hlquist (1984) use DN hybridization to argue for the clade humans-chimps. Carl Woese (1978) uses rrn trees to introduce evolution into microbiology, argue for the domain rchaea. Much progress on early radiation of angiosperms Protostome-deuterostome tree of metazoans (more or less) replaced by deuterostome-lophotrichozoa-ecdysozoa tree. Fungi closer to animals than either is to plants. Symbiotic origin of mitochondria and of chloroplasts verified. mphioxus diverged before split of tunicates from craniate chordates. Lots of horizontal gene transfer in prokaryotes, almost not a tree. Molecular evolution p.36/49

40 PhyloHMM analysis of multiple genomes From a paper by Siepel and Haussler (Journal of Computational Biology, 2004) describing the machinery for finding conserved regions of multiple genomes. Molecular evolution p.40/49

41 Rates of change from neutral and selective mechanisms Neutral mutations fraction µ of all copies of a gene mutate. Of these 1 2N (equal to the initial frequency of the mutant) succeed in drifting to fixation for the mutant. There are in all 2N copies of the gene available to mutate. The resulting rate of substitution is µ 1 2N 2N = µ So the rate of substitution of neutral mutations is equal to the mutation rate (the mutation rate of neutral mutants, not the total mutation rate). Molecular evolution p.41/49

42 Change by neutral mutation end of a lineage which is the ancestry of a single copy of the gene: change is expected to be µ per generation gene copy ancestry Interestingly, the expected rate of change is the same no matter what the population size is (small populations make all copies more likely to become the same, but all are still expected to differ from their ancestors by this amount) time species boundary Molecular evolution p.42/49

43 Rates from neutral and selective mechanisms Selectively advantageous mutations fraction µ of copies of the gene mutate. There are in all 2N copies available. fraction 2s succeed in fixing. The resulting rate of substitution is µ 2N 2s = 4Nsµ Note that this is 4Ns times as high as for neutral mutants, if the mutation rate in both categories were equal (which it isn t). Molecular evolution p.43/49

44 Substitution of neutral and advantageous mutations Suppose that the population size is N = 1, 000, 000, and mutation rates are: dvantageous mutations Neutral mutations u a = 10 7 u n = 10 6 If the selection coefficient in favor of advantageous mutations is s = , the rates of substitution expected are: dvantageous mutations Neutral mutations (4Ns)u a = u n = 10 6 Molecular evolution p.44/49
