A comparison of ancestral state reconstruction methods for quantitative characters.
Choosing an ancestral state reconstruction method among the alternatives available for quantitative characters may be puzzling. We present here a comparison of seven of them, namely the maximum likelihood, restricted maximum likelihood, generalized least squares under Brownian, Brownian-with-trend and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck models, phylogenetic independent contrasts and squared parsimony methods. A...
متن کاملAssessing the Accuracy of Ancestral Protein Reconstruction Methods
The phylogenetic inference of ancestral protein sequences is a powerful technique for the study of molecular evolution, but any conclusions drawn from such studies are only as good as the accuracy of the reconstruction method. Every inference method leads to errors in the ancestral protein sequence, resulting in potentially misleading estimates of the ancestral protein's properties. To assess t...
متن کاملAncestral Reconstruction
Ancestral reconstruction is the extrapolation back in time from measured characteristics of individuals (or populations) to their common ancestors. It is an important application of phylogenetics, the reconstruction and study of the evolutionary relationships among individuals, populations, or species to their ancestors. In the context of biology, ancestral reconstruction can be used to recover...
متن کاملGlobal Alignment of Molecular Sequences via Ancestral State Reconstruction
Molecular phylogenetic techniques do not generally account for such common evolutionary events as site insertions and deletions (known as indels). Instead tree building algorithms and ancestral state inference procedures typically rely on substitution-only models of sequence evolution. In practice these methods are extended beyond this simplified setting with the use of heuristics that produce ...
متن کاملAncestral Reconstruction for Association Mapping
One of the greatest promises of modern genetics is the ability to identify loci responsible for, or at least highly correlated with, important physical traits and disease susceptibility. This will enable benefits ranging from improved disease risk assessment and crop design to ultimately a better understanding of how genotype variation effects variations in phenotypes. A key component in this t...
