Phylogeny





Phylogeny is the evolution of related species/genes
Phylogenetic tree: diagram showing evolutionary
lineages of species/genes
The history of genes or species may be very different
Genes can be homologous or analogous, but still
remind each other
Homologous sequences can be devided into two
parts




Orthologous sequences diverged by specification from
a common ancestor
Paralogous sequences evolved by gene dublication
within species
Analogous sequences may appear and function very
similarly, but they do not have a common ancestor
WHEN WE WANT TO EXPLORE EVOLUTIONARY
RELATIONSHIPS, WE NEED TO HANDLE

Phylogenetic trees

WHY construct a phylogenetic tree?








to understand lineage of various species
to understand how various functions evolved
to inform multiple alignments
Trees can be rooted (a common ancestor in known)
or unrooted
Leaves are the terminal nodes that correspond to
the observed sequences of genes or species (A, B,
C, D)
Internal nodes are hypothetical ancestral nodes
All trees will be assumed to be binary, meaning that
an edge that branches splits into two daughter edges
Each edge has a certain amount of evolutionary
divergence associated to it, defined by some
measure of distance between sequences, or from a
model of substitution of residues over the course of
evolution

Distance methods
Parsimony
Likelihood
Probabilistic methods
Phylogenetic invariants
Route from the molecular
sequences to the phylogenetic tree
Distance methods:
 Select a set of related (orthologous) nucleotide or amino
acid sequences
 Perform multiple sequence alignment (Clustal series
widely used)
 Calculate pairwise distances of the sequence using
chosen evolution model of substitution (Distances
between sequences describe the evolution: the smaller
distances are the closer they are related)
 Select the most suitable algorithm to infer phylogeny
 View the tree with a certain program (Treeview,
NJPlot,..)
Hamming Distance
Making a tree from pairwise
distances


Distances dij between each pair
of sequences i and j are
calculated in the given dataset
Different ways defining distances

For nucleotide sequences:
Jukes-Cantor, Kimura-2-parameter K2P,
HKY (Hasegawa-Kishino-Yano), F84,
Tamura-Nei, General time-reversible
model, General 12-parameter model

Distance matrix methods

UPGMA
 Algorithm
introduced by Sokal and Michener
1958

Neighbor-Joining
 Algorithm
introduced by Saitou and Nei 1987
 Modified by Studier and Keppler 1988
Clustering method: UPGMA




UPGMA = Unweighted pair group method using
arithmetic averages
Simple method
It works by clustering the sequences, at each
stage connecting two clusters and finally
creating a new node on a tree
Method assumes equal rate of evolutionary
change along branches  Molecular clock
assumption
UPGMA
A
C
B
D
UPGMA produces a rooted tree
 Branch lengths satisfy a molecular clock
 The divergence of sequences is assumed to occur at the same constant rate
at all points in the tree
 Trees that are clocklike are rooted and the total branch length from the root
up to any leaf is equal
 Trees are often referred to be ultrametric
 A distance measures are ultrametric if either all three distances are equal
dij = dik = djk or two of them are equal and one is smaller: djk < dij = dik
 UPGMA is guaranteed to build the correct tree if distances are ultrametric
 Method can be used for reconstructing phylogenies if evolutionary rates are
assumed to be same in all lineages  criticism in the phylogeny literature



Suitable for the species closely related
Running time O(n2)
Algorithm: UPGMA
Initialisation:
Assign each sequence i in dataset to its own cluster
Define one leaf of T for each sequence, and place at height zero
Iteration:
Find the two clusters i and j for which dij is the smallest (pick
randomly if several equal distances)
Define a new cluster ij by Cij = Ci U Cj. Cluster ij has nij = ni + nj
members ( initially ni = 1 )
Connect i and j on the tree to a new node v
The branch lengths from new node to i and j are
placed at height d ij

N-J assumes additivity
Def. Edge lengths are said to be additive if the distance between
any pair of leaves is the sum of lengths of the edges on the path
connecting them
Method uses an approximate algorithm, where the tree is built by
finding a pair of neighboring leaves i and j that minimize the length
of the tree. Finally neighboring leaves are joined.

Iteration:
ui  
Compute
j  i n  2  for each sequence, where n is the number of
sequences in the distance matrix
Pick a pair i and j (for which dij – ui – uj is the smallest (pick randomly if
several equal)
Join items i and j with a new node v
Compute the branch lengths from a new node v to items i and j
Compute the distances between new node v and remaining items
Remove i and j from the distance matrix and replace them by new node v

Conclusion







UPGMA method constructs a rooted phylogenetic tree correctly if there is a
molecular clock with a constant rate of mutation
UPGMA method is rarely used, because molecular clock assumption is not
generally true: selection pressures vary across time periods, genes within
organisms, organisms, regions within gene
N-J method produces an unrooted tree without molecular clock hypothesis
N-J method is one of the most popular and widely used by molecular
evolutionist
Distance methods are strongly dependent on the model of evolution used
Sequence information is reduced when transforming sequence data into
distances
Distance methods are computationaly fast
