3 Brute orce pproach Brute orce numerate all trees Compute some measure of evolutionary likelihood Select best tree How many rooted trees are there with n leaves? n= leaves => tree n=3 leaves =>attach 3 rd leaf to 3 edges => 3 trees Let T(n)= # rooted trees with n leaves; (n) = # edges T()=, ()=3; T(3)=3, (3)= ddition of a leaf creates two new edges => (n)=(n-)+=> (n)=n- T(n)=T(n-)*(n-)=T(n-)*(n-3) => T(n)= *3** (n-3) or n=0 leaves ~0 pproaches istance based Tree should best model evolutionary distance metric among taxa Character-based [Maximal Parsimony (MP)] Tree should minimize changes Maximum likelihood (ML) Tree should maximize likelihood of changes INPT: Y GGGCT TGCCC TGCTT TGCC TGCGCTT Phylogeny OTPT: Y 6 3

4 istance Based Techniques 7 I. istance Based Techniques Key Idea: Compute evolutionary distance metric among S={,,,,Y} Compute a tree on S that best fits the distances ormally: Given: nxn distance matrix Compute: weighted tree T on n leaves that best fits How to establish evolutionary distance measures? istance ~ changes Next chapter: evaluating distance using Markovian evolution models 8

5 Is There Tree That Perfectly its? Not every distance metric can be modeled by a tree How can we tell distance metrics that model a tree?...? 9 The our-point condition distance matrix corresponding to a tree is called additive THORM: is additive if and only if: or every four indices i,j,k,l, the maximum and median of the three pairwise sums are identical: ij + kl < ik + jl = il + jk Suggests how to connect points into a tree to fit i l ik il ij kl < = jl j k jk... 0

6 How o e Handle Non-dditive? dditive metrics are very useful Provide perfect fit with a tree model; tree is easily computed from But evolutionary distance metrics are often non-additive How do we handle non-additive metric? itch & Margoliash: find a tree T to minimize least-square fit: (T) = i,j (d ij (T) ij ) This problem is NP-Hard need heuristics itch & Margoliash (968) exhaustive search Closest-Pair Clustering Idea: use to guide closest-pair clustering xtend to clusters by PGM/PGM averaging 6

7 PGM lgorithm Initialization Initialize n clusters C i ={S i } Initialize T with leaves for each cluster Ci Iteration ind C i, C j with smallest distance ij Create new cluster C k = C i C j dd a new node to T, for C k, and connect it to C i,c j If all nodes are connected to a tree exit; otherwise, assign ki = kj = ij / and compute the distances kl to all clusters C l il C i + jl C j kl = C i + C j Repeat the iteration 3 PGM: Molecular Clock Property niform distance from root to leaves istance to root ~ evolutionary clock Species are assumed to take identical time to evolve

8 Notes Complexity is is O(n ) veraging redistributes distances to overcome non-additivity Clustering can lead to substantial errors and is very sensitive This limits the applications of clustering How do we overcome the sensitivity of PGM? Real tree PGM Improvements Through Bootstrapping Bootstrapping: statistical technique to increase robustness Scenario: given a sample S(ω) and a result R(S) computed from S Bootstrapping: o Resample S, to get S (ω); o valuate R(S (ω)); o valuate match of R(S) with the values R(S (ω)) In here S= columns of sequences of size n; R(S)=tree S (ω)=sample n random columns of S with possible repetitions Compute phylogenetic tree R(S (ω)) se {R(S (ω))} to compute consensus/likelihood of branches of R(S) 6 8

9 Bootstrapping xample 7 Closest Pair vs. volutionary-neighbors dditivity: ij + kl < ik + jl = il + jk i l ik il ij kl < = jl j k PGM overcomes non-additivity by averaging distances But, the closest pair may not be evolutionary neighbors The evolutionary tree distances may diverge greatly; averaging distorts neighborhood jk 8 9

10 Neighbor Joining [Saitou & Nei 87; Studier & Keppler 88] Neighbor joining heuristics: join closest clusters that are far from the rest efine: R k =Σ i k ik the divergence of k Cluster nodes k,m that minimize km = km -(R k +R m )/(n-) [efine r k =R k /(n-) and consider km -r k -r m ] km r k r m r Neighbor Joining lgorithm Initialization:(same as PGM) Initialize n clusters C i ={S i } Iteration:. Compute r k =Σ i k ik /(n-) for each cluster k. ind (k,m) minimizing km -r k -r m ; 3. efine a new node i and set is = 0.( ks + ms - km ) for all s. Join node i to k and m with edges of respective lengths: ki =0.( km +r k -r m ) mi =0.( km +r m -r k ). Repeat until all nodes are connected 0 0

15 Maximal Parsimony (character based phylogeny) 9 Key Idea: Minimize Changes Reconsider the problem: ind best tree to explain evolution of sequences Motivation: focus on evolution of positions istance loses information on evolutionary changes TTCTG TTCT GTTGCT TTGCT Key idea: find tree with minimal changes to explain data G GG G C= G G GG C=3 G G GG G 30

24 Maximal Likelihood pproach 7 (III) Max Likelihood pproaches (Based on N. riedman slides) Key idea: compute maximum likelihood tree Many models of changes (trees) can yield observed data Compute tree that maximizes the likelihood Problem : given T, compute probability P(S T) S={, n } are the observed sequences Need a probability model of changes generated by T: o Background probabilities: q(a) o Mutation probabilities: P(a b,t) x Problem : compute T that maximizes P(S T) This is the complex part x t t t t 3 x x x 3 8

25 Tree Likelihood Computation efine P(L k a)= prob. of subtree below node k given x k =a Init: for all leaves k; P(L k a)= if x k =a ; 0 otherwise Iteration: if k is node with children i and j, then " P(L k a) = P(b a,t i )L(i b)p(c a,t j )L( j c) b,c Termination:Likelihood is P( x, K, x3 T, t) =!
