1 r. Walter Salzburger The tree of life, ustav Klimt (1907) Inferring Molecular Phylogeny Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 2 1. Molecular Markers

2 Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 3 Immunological comparisons! Nuttall & Uhlenhuth (early 20th century): blood relationships between species! cross reaction between sera and anti-sera! strategy: the degree of similarity reflects the strength of the evolutionary relationships Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 4 vise (1994)

3 Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 5 Protein electrophoresis! developed by Hunter & Markert (1957)! non-denatured proteins with different net charges migrate at different rates through starch or acrylamide gels! histochemical stains specific for enzymes under assay! zymograms are interpretable in terms of Mendelian genotypes Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 6

4 Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 7 vise (1994) Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 8 Restriction endonucleases! Linn & rber*, Meselson & Yuan (1968): discovery of restriction endonucleases (enzymes) i.e., precise scalpels to cut double-stranded N at specific motifs *Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine 1978

5 Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 9 Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 10 Recombinant N technology

7 Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 13 Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 14 mplified fragment length polymorphism

8 Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 15 N-N hybridization!...relies on the double-stranded nature of N!...and that complementary strands are held together by hydrogen bonds! when N is heated, it melts into single strands, if it is cooled, it re-associates! data: thermal elusion profiles Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 16 vise (1994)

9 Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 17 issociation curves! homoduplex hybridization (intraspecific)! heteroduplex hybridization (interspecific)! genetic distance ~ "Thomo - "Thetero heteroduplex ostrich-rhea vise (1994) homoduplex ostrich Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 18 Sibley & hlquist (1980s) Sibley & hlquist (1990)

10 Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 19 N Sequencing! Walter ilbert and Fred Sanger develop techniques for N sequencing (1977) Walter ilbert (1932-) Fred Sanger (1918-) Nobel Prize in hemistry 1980 Inferring Molecular Phylogeny 20 Polymerase hain Reaction (PR)! In the 1980s, Kary. Mullis invents and helps to develop further the PR Kary. Mullis (1944-) Nobel Prize in hemistry 1993
