3 Measuring differences between sequences The common ways Direct counting The probability of substitution at certain nucleotide site change from i to j. Nucleotide substitution models Jukes & Cantor(1969) s one parameter model Kimura(1980)'s two parameter model F81 (Felsenstein, 1981) HKY85 (Hasegawa et al., 1985) Generalized time reversible model (GTR) The probability of nucleotide substitution SpC SpD TCAGCCGACTGT TCAGACGACTGT In order to know the probability of the sequences to be different (p), we can calculate the probability of the sequences being the same (I (t)) first. Let s start with Jukes-Cantor model We can just use another estimator, K, the number of substitutions per site since time of divergence between the two sequences 3"t Y X 3"t Z Therefore, K = 2 x 3"t = 6"t! 8!t = "ln(1" 4 3 p) " A C " " G " " " " K =! 3 4 ln(1! 4 3 p) T Under J-C model, Example of calculation If there are 80 transitions and 20 transversions between two sequences (length=0bp), the number of substitutions per site K can be estimated: K =! 3 4 ln(1! 4 3 p) = (p=0.1) Under Kimura 2P model: K = 1 2 ln( 1 1! 2P! Q ) ln( 1 1! 2Q ) = (P=0.08, Q=0.02) where p = the observed proportions of different nucleotides between the two sequences 15 where P = the proportions of transitions and Q = the proportions of transversions. p is the proportion of total substitution Overview of Distance method UPGMA 1. Transform the data matrix into distance table OTU A B C B d AB C d AC d BC D d AD d BD d CD OTU (AB) C C d (AB)C D d (AB)D d CD where d (AB)C = (d AC + d BC )/2 and d (AB)D = (d AD + d BD )/2 2. Use this new data matrix to evaluate/ construct the tree (Page & Holme 1998) (Graur & Li 2000) 18 18

5 NJ procedure 1. For each tip, compute u i = # n j: j"i D i (n! 2) 2. Choose the i and j for which D ij -u i -u j is smallest 3. Join i and j, compute the new node (ij) to every other nodes D (ij ),k = (D ik + D jk! D ij ) 2 4. Delete tips i and j and make new table with the new node (ij) Limitation on distance methods All nucleotide sites change independently. When evolutionary rates vary from site to site, than the data set needs to be corrected The substitution rate is constant over time and in different lineages. The base composition is at equilibrium. The conditional probabilities of nucleotide substitutions are the same for all sites and do not change over time. 5. Continue till resolve the tree Discrete methods Maximum parsimony (%&'()*) Maximum likelihood (+,-./)*) Bayesian inference ( ) Others Parsimony methods The goal is to find the most parsimonious tree The criteria are to calculate the changes of character states, i.e. the evolutionary steps First, we have to know the way to evaluate a given tree A simple data matrix w/ discrete characters SpA: TCAGACGATTGTCAGACCATTG SpB: TCAGTCGACTGTCAAACCATTG SpC: TCGGTCAATTGTCAAACGATTG SpD: TCGGTCAATTGTCAAACGATTG SpA SpB SpC SpD SpA SpB SpD SpC SpA SpC SpD SpB A simple data matrix w/ discrete characters For position no. 3 SpA: TCAGACGATTGTCAGACCATTG SpB: TCAGTCGACTGTCAAACCATTG SpC: TCGGTCAATTGTCAAACGATTG SpD: TCGGTCAATTGTCAAACGATTG A A G G A A G G A G G A SpA SpB SpC SpD SpA SpB SpD SpC SpA SpC SpD SpB A A G G SpA SpB SpC SpD A to G Character change (step) = 2 Character change (step) = Character change (step) =

(Page & Holme 1998) taxa Tree searching The number of unrooted trees: N unrooted = (2n! 5)! 2 n!3 (n! 3)! 4 taxa The number of rooted trees: N rooted = (2n! 3)! 2 n!2 (n! 2)!

If we want to evaluate all of the trees for 25 taxa, we will need x = /10 6 /60/60/24/365 = 3.17x10 15!"#$%!& We got to have some ways to approximate the true tree Ways to solve time paradigm Skip unnecessary calculation Change the tree searching ways The procedure can be simplified SpA: TCAGACGATTGTCAGACCATTG SpB: TCGGTCGACTGTCAGACCATTG SpC: TCAGTCGATTGTCA-ACGATTG SpD: TCAGTCGATTGTCA-ACGATTG SpE: TCAGTCGATCGTCA-ACGATTG Parsimonious uninformative Parsimonious informative Searching for optimal trees Exhausted search Branch-and-bound method Heuristic approach Stepwise/closest/random addition Star decomposition Branch swapping Exhausted search 41 Page & Holme (1998) Molecular evolution 41 42

An example - shortest Hamiltonian path (SHP) For n cities, there will be n-1 cities to come next, so there will be n! possible solution Point x y Random route: Total length= Adding by greedy manner: Length= Optimal solution: Length= Hendy, M.D. & D. Penny (1982) Mathem. Biosci. 60: Felsenstein (2004) Inferring phylogeny Felsenstein (2004) Inferring phylogeny 46 Branch-and-bound search heuristic searching for best tree #This method can greatly improve the speed of search, but it still cannot escape from the constraints of the NPhardness proof.

9 Heuristic approach- Branch swapping: NNIs Nearestneighbor interchanges (NNI) How greedy should we be? In a tree with n tips, there will be n-3 interior branches. In all, 2(n-3) neighbors will be examined for each tree. Should we do NNI for each of the best trees, or stop at some point, or should we start from scratch more often? Swofford et al. (1996) Molecular Systematics The space of all 15 possible unrooted trees The space of all 15 possible unrooted trees NNI is to moving in this graph Felsenstein (2004) Inferring phylogeny Felsenstein (2004) Inferring phylogeny 52 Heuristic approach- Branch swapping: TBR Tree bisection and reconnection (TBR) In a n 1 +n 2 species in the tree, there will be (2n 1-3)(2n 2-3) possible ways to reconnect the two trees. Rearrangement Browsing tree space Random starting point strategy to avoid being trapped in tree island (Maddison 1991) Parsimony ratchet Parsimony ratchet uses a re-weighted subset of characters as a starting point to browse the tree space, and tries to find as many tree islands as possible by using adjacent-tree searching method. (Nixon 1999) 53 Swofford et al. (1996) Molecular Systematics 53 Maddison, D.R. (1991) Syst. Zool. 40: Nixon, K.C. (1999) Cladistics 15:

10 Parsimony ratchet Described by Nixon (1999), and available in various programs (NONA, WINCLADA, PAUPRat, etc.). Parsimony ratchet uses a re-weighted subset of characters as a starting point to browse the tree space, and tries to find as many tree islands as possible by using adjacent-tree searching method. Parsimony ratchet procedure Generate a starting Wagner tree Randomly select a subset of character (5-25%) and add 1 weight score Performing TBR branch swapping, keep 1 tree Reset the weighting to original Performing branch swapping, keep the best tree Return to step 2, repeat the iteration (step2-6) times Nixon, K.C. (1999) Cladistics 15: Notes on parsimony ratchet It seems to improve the effectivity of tree searching It can be used with any objective function based on character data: compatibility, distance matrix, and likelihoods. The strategy can be modified Nixon, K.C.

Bootstrapping An approximate measure of repeatability and accuracy of data. Will not correct the inconsistency caused by reconstruction method. The tree constructed in every replicate still depend on the methods you choose, therefore subject to associated problems Decay/support index Also called Bremer support (Bremer 1988, 1994; Donoghue et al. 1992) An index of support calculating the difference in tree lengths between the shortest trees that contain versus lack a specific group. Constraint trees can be generated by AutoDecay

13 Method of calculation 1. Obtain most parsimonious tree(s) (MP) Generate a strict consensus tree 2. Obtain all trees one step longer (MP + 1) Generate a strict consensus tree If branch is not supported, Decay index = 1 3. Obtain all trees one step longer (MP + 2) Generate a strict consensus tree If branch is not supported, Decay index = 2 4. Obtain all trees one step longer (MP + 3) Generate a strict consensus tree If branch is not supported, Decay index = 3 Bremer Support (decay index) the number of extra steps it takes to collapse a group example: 1 MP tree, 110 steps Haliperp HPE Arabaren AAU43231 Arabsuec ASU43227 Arabthal ATU43224 Arabsuec ASU43226 Arabthal ATH Capsrube CRU Capsrube CRU Bremer Support (decay index) 3 trees <= 111 steps Bremer Support (decay index) 3 trees <= 111 steps Haliperp HPE Arabaren AAU43231 Arabsuec ASU43227 Arabthal ATU43224 Arabsuec ASU43226 Arabthal ATH Capsrube CRU Capsrube CRU Haliperp HPE Arabaren AAU43231 Arabsuec ASU43227 Arabthal ATU43224 Arabsuec ASU43226 Arabthal ATH Capsrube CRU Capsrube CRU Bremer Support (decay index) Bremer Support (decay index) 5 trees <= 117 steps Haliperp HPE Arabaren AAU43231 Arabsuec ASU43227 Arabthal ATU43224 Can not be larger than the branch length No direct connection to branch length otherwise Quantification of support in a parsimony framework Haliperp HPE Arabaren AAU43231 Arabsuec ASU43227 Arabthal ATU43224 Arabsuec ASU43226 Arabthal ATH Arabsuec ASU43226 Arabthal ATH Capsrube CRU Capsrube CRU Capsrube CRU Capsrube CRU
