1 Bioinformatics Phylogeny Species trees versus molecule tree! A species tree aims at representing the evolutionary relationships between species.! A molecule tree represents the evolutionary history of a family of related molecules (genes, proteins).! Species trees and gene trees are generally related... " Species tree can be inferred from various criteria, including the history of carefully chosen molecules.!... but t identical. " A molecular family can contain several copies in the same species (in-paralogs), due to gene duplications. " Some molecules can be transferred horizontally between species. " Due to combinations of duplications-divergences, the tree of a given gene may be inconsistent with the species tree.! Illustration: Figure 7.3 from Zvelebil and Baum. Jacques.van.Helden@ulb.ac.be Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgique Laboratoire de Bioinformatique des Gémes et des Réseaux (BiGRe) Source: Zvelebil, M.J. and Baum, J.O. (2008) Understanding Bioinformatics. Garland Science, New York and London.! Tree reconciliation Concept definitions from Fitch (2000) Source: Zvelebil, M.J. and Baum, J.O. (2008) Understanding Bioinformatics. Garland Science, New York and London.!! Discussion about definitions of the paper " Fitch, W. M. (2000). Homology a personal view on some of the problems. Trends Genet 16, ! Homology " Owen (1843). «the same organ under every variety of form and function». " Fitch (2000). Homology is the relationship of any two characters that have descendent, usually with divergence, from a common ancestral character. Note: character can be a phetypic trait, or a site at a given position of a protein, or a whole gene,... " Molecular application: two genes are homologous if diverge from a common ancestral gene.! Analogy: relationship of two characters that have developed convergently from unrelated ancestor.! Cenancestor: the most recent common ancestor of the taxa under consideration! Orthology: relationship of any two homologous characters whose common ancestor lies in the cenancestor of the taxa from which the two were obtained.! Paralogy: Relationship of two characters arising from a duplication of the gene for that character.! Xelogy: relationship of any two characters whose history, since their common ancestor, involves interspecies (horizontal) transfer of the genetic material for at least one of those characters. Analogy Homology Paralogy Xelogy or t (xeologs from paralogs) Orthology Xelogy or t Exercise Exercise! On the basis of Fitch s definitions (previous slide), qualify the relationships between each pair of genes in the illustrative schema. " P paralog " O ortholog " X xelog " A analog! Example: B1 versus C1 " The two (B1 and C1) were obtained from taxa B and C, respectively. " The cenancestor (blue arrow) is the taxon that preceded the second speciation event (Sp2). " The common ancestor gene (green dot) coincides with the cenancestor! -> B1 and C1 are orthologs A1 AB1 B1 B2 C1 C2 C3 A1 AB1 B1 B2 C1 C2 C3 # Orthologs can fomally be defined as a speciation event (ex: a 1 and a 2 ). # Paralogs can fomally be defined as a gene duplication event (ex: b 2 and b 2' ).

2 Exercise Solution to the exercise! Example: B1 versus C2 " The two (B1 and C2) were obtained from taxa B and C, respectively. " The common ancestor gene (green dot) is the gene that just preceded the duplication Dp1. " This common ancestor is much anterior to the cenancestor (blue arrow).! -> B1 and C2 are paralogs!

The "molecular clock" hypothesis (left tree) assumes that rates of evolution do t vary between branches. All leaf des are thus aligned vertically.! This hypothesis is t always valid " in some cases, two genes can diverge from a common ancestor, but one of them may have diverged faster than the other one. This is a rather classical mechanism of evolution: a duplication creates some redundancy, and one copy of the gene will evolve whereas the other one retains the initial function.

It is usually t possible to find a tree whose branch length fit with all the values of the distance matrix.! Several approaches exist to calculate a tree which approximates the distances. " The Fitch-Margoliah method minimizes the sum of squares between distances in the matrix and distances in the tree. " The Neighbour-Joining (NJ) method minimizes the sum of branch lengths for the resulting tree. This methods does t assume a molecular clock: it is thus appropriate when some proteins have evolved faster than some other ones. It returns an unrooted tree. " The Unweighted Pair-Group Method by arithmetic Averaging (UPGMA) clusters the by order of distance in the distance matrix. This method relies on the assumption of evolutionary clock, and it produces a rooted tree. leaf des b3!
