Monophyletic & Paraphyletic
• Monophyletic– Natural clade; all of the taxa are derived from
a common ancestor
• Paraphyletic– Taxonomic group whose most recent common
ancestor is shared by another taxon

Types of phylogenetic analysis methods
• Phenetic: trees are constructed based on observed characteristics, not on evolutionary history
• Cladistic: trees are constructed based on fitting observed characteristics to some model of evolutionary history
Distancemethods
ParsimonyandMaximumLikelihoodmethods
![Page 13: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Methods of Tree reconstruction
• Distance• Maximum Parsimony• Maximum Likelihood• Bayesian
Phylogeny Estimation: Traditional and Bayesian Approaches
Nature Reviews Genetics (2003) 4:275
![Page 14: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Genetic distance
• Distance from one sequence to another• Hamming Distance
– Count number of differences
• Multiple hits – number of events is greater than number of differences – Estimate number of events
• Infer tree from genetic distance using Neighbour-joining (NJ) method
![Page 15: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
UPGMA shown for illustrative purposes. Neighbour-joining is preferred method.
![Page 16: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
• The algorithm in the text means: find the closest distance between two sequences, cluster those; then find the next closest distance, cluster those; as sequences are added to existing clusters find the average distance between existing clusters
• Work through the notation!• UPGMA assumes a molecular clock
mechanism of evolution
![Page 17: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
• Neighbor-joining: corrects for UPGMA’s assumption of the same rate of evolution for each branch by modifying the distance matrix to reflect different rates of change.
• The net difference between sequence i and all other sequences is
• ri = Sdik
![Page 18: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• The rate-corrected distance matrix is then • Mij = dij - (ri + rj)/(n - 2)
• Join the two sequences whose Mij is minimal; then calculate the distance from this new node to all other sequences using
• dkm = (dim + djm - dij)/2• Again correct for rates and join nodes.

Maximum Parsimony (MP)
• Find topology requiring smallest number of evolutionary changes
• Consider each position (site) in the sequence alignment independently
• Not all sites are informative
• Informative– Favours one topology over others
![Page 20: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Maximum Likelihood (ML)
• Likelihood L of a tree is the probability of observing the data given the treeL = P(data|tree)
• Find the tree with the highest L value
• Results depends on model of nucleotide substitution
• Computationally time-consuming
![Page 22: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
• Actually, all the other methods discussed implicitly use a simple model of evolution similar to the typical model made explicit in maximum likelihood:
• All sites selectively neutral• All mutate independently, forward and
reverse rates equal, given by m
![Page 23: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
• Also assume discrete generations and sites change independently
• Given this model, can calculate probability that a site with initial nucleotide I will change to nucleotide j within time t:
• Ptij = dije-mt + (1 - e-mt)gj, where dij = 1 if i = j
and dij = 0 otherwise, and where gj is the equilibrium frequency of nucleotide j
![Page 24: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
• The likelihood that some site is in state i at the kth node of a tree is Li
(k)
• The likelihoods for all states for each site for each node are calculated separately; the product of the likelihoods for each site gives the overall likelihood for the observed data
• Different tree topologies are searched to find the highest overall likelihood
![Page 25: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
• Maximum likelihood is maybe the “gold standard” for phylogenetic analysis; but because of its computational intensity it can only be used for select data and only after much initial fine tuning of many parameters of sequence alignments
• Often used to distinguish between several already generated trees
![Page 26: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Bayesian (B) Phylogeny Estimation
• Searches for best trees consistent with both model and data
• Incorporates prior knowledge (prior probability)
• B maximises probability of tree given data and model
• Searches for best set of trees
![Page 27: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Comparison of methods
How much information are they using?• MP, ML, B use actual DNA whereas NJ
summarises information into distance matrix• BUT, not all sites are used by MP (“informative”
sites only)How can the nature of the data affect the
methods?• NJ better for recent divergences• MP works well for a high number of informative
sites
![Page 28: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Comparison of methods
How do they cope with lots of sequences?• MP requires comparison of all possible trees
– Not possible for large number of taxa
• ML is computationally intensive and very slow for large number of taxa
• NJ efficient for large number of taxaAnything else?• ML requires explicit assumptions about rate and
pattern of substitution (model)– ML may perform poorly if model is incorrect
• ML or B may get stuck on local maxima

Rate (r) of evolution
• K = number of substitutions per site
• T = time since divergence
• r = K/2T
• Rate is expressed as substitutions per site per year

True tree and inferred tree
• There is only one true tree of species relationships
• Inferred tree may not be correct
1. Some genes may not be representative
2. Tree inference method may have produced an incorrect tree– e.g. parsimony method:
may get several equally parsimonious results
![Page 33: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
How credible is the tree?
• The tree is a hypothesis of the true relationship
• Need some measure of the support for that hypothesis
• Note: Bayesian methods simultaneously estimate tree and measures of uncertainty for each branch
![Page 34: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)

• The bootstrap: randomly sample all positions (columns in an alignment) with replacement -- meaning some columns can be repeated -- but conserving the number of positions; build a large dataset of these randomized samples
![Page 36: Phylogenetics. Phylogenetic Trees time NODE BRANCH ROOT Operational Taxonomic Unit (OTU) Hypothetical Taxonomic Unit.](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022031719/56649dbb5503460f94aad3ff/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)

• Then use your method (distance, parsimony, likelihood) to generate another tree
• Do this a thousand or so times • Note that if the assumptions the method is based
on hold, you should always get the same tree from the bootstrapped alignments as you did originally
• The frequency of some feature of your phylogeny in the bootstrapped set gives some measure of the confidence you can have for this feature

Applications of phylogenetics
• Detection of orthology and paralogy
• Estimation of divergence times• Reconstruction of ancient
proteins• Identifying residues important
to selection• Detecting recombination points• Identifying mutations likely to
be associated with disease• Determining the identity of new
pathogens

The Tree of Life
• Traditional classification of life into five kingdoms– Bacteria (inc
cyanobacteria)– Protista (inc. cilliates,
flagellates, amoebae)– Fungi– Plantae– Animalia

Archaebacteria
• Carl Woese and colleagues• Study relationships by
comparing rRNAs • Methanogens were expected
to group with other bacteria• BUT, found to be equally
distant from bacteria and eukaryotes
• Made new taxon - Archaebacteria
• Includes many extremophiles– thermophiles– hyperthermophiles– halophiles (salt dependent)

So what is the evidence?
• Serological precipitation (Goodman 1962) – H, G, C constitute a natural clade, orangutans & gibbons earlier diverging
• However, H,G,C relative relationships remained unclear
• Most DNA sequence data support ((H,C),G)
• Some genes show different relationship

• Discovered 1872• Ammodramus maritimus
nigrescens• Geographically confined to
small salt marsh in Florida• 2000 individuals in 1900• 6 individuals (all male) in 1980 • Conservation program

Conservation genetics
• Mating of remaining males with females from closest subspecies available
• Female hybrids of first generation then “back-crossed” to original males
• Continue as long as original males live
• Which species to choose to take the females from??

• 8 other A. maritimus subspecies
• Geographically dispersed along coast
• Artificial breeding with Scott’s seaside sparrow (A. m. peninsulae)
• Chosen based on Morphological and behavioural similarities
• Was this the best choice?

Origin of angiosperms
• Probably arose from gymnosperm-like ancestor up to 370-380 mya
• Gymnosperm = “naked seed” (e.g. conifers)
• Long time span of possible origin
• Why no fossils?– Didn’t exist prior to
Cretaceous?– Lived in habitats not
conducive to fossilisation?

Monocot and Dicot divergence
• Monocotyledons• Dicotyledons• Two major classes of
angiosperm• Date of their divergence
gives minimum estimate for age of angiosperms
• Phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences

Monocot – Dicot divergence
• Initial estimate of 300-320 mya (Martin et al. 1989)– Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphaste dehydrogenase from plants,
animals and fungi
• Implied origin close (within 100myr) to the time of origin of earliest land plants – seems too ancient– implies all vascular plants arose within 100myr
• Alternative study (Wolfe et al., 1989)• Calibrated molecular clock with maize-wheat divergence
(50-70 mya)• Monocot-dicot divergence estimated as 200 mya• Existed long before prominence in paleoflora

Cetaceans
• Link to ungulates (hoofed mammals) suggested by comparative anatomy
• Early protein and mtDNA phylogenetic studies indicated that Cetaceans are closely related to Artiodactyls

• Graur and Higgins (1994)• Protein and DNA
sequence from several cetaceans and from three suborders of artiodactyls
• Showed cetaceans are within artiodactyls
• Confirmed by analysis of distribution of SINE elements
