An experimental phylogeny to benchmark ancestral sequence reconstruction
Ancestral sequence reconstruction (ASR) is a still-burgeoning method that has revealed many key mechanisms of molecular evolution. One criticism of the approach is an inability to validate its algorithms within a biological context as opposed to a computer simulation. Here we build an experimental phylogeny using the gene of a single red fluorescent protein to address this criticism. The evolve...
متن کاملHandAlign: Bayesian multiple sequence alignment, phylogeny and ancestral reconstruction
UNLABELLED We describe handalign, a software package for Bayesian reconstruction of phylogenetic history. The underlying model of sequence evolution describes indels and substitutions. Alignments, trees and model parameters are all treated as jointly dependent random variables and sampled via Metropolis-Hastings Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC), enabling systematic statistical parameter inferenc...

For parsimony analysis of the edge length represent the observed number of changes. Reconstructiong ancestral states therefore defines also the edge lengths of a tree. However there can exist several equally parsimonious reconstructions or states can be ambiguous and therefore edge length can differ. ”MPR” reconstructs the ancestral states for each (internal) node as if the tree would be rooted...
متن کاملAncestral Sequence Reconstruction with Maximum Parsimony.
One of the main aims in phylogenetics is the estimation of ancestral sequences based on present-day data like, for instance, DNA alignments. One way to estimate the data of the last common ancestor of a given set of species is to first reconstruct a phylogenetic tree with some tree inference method and then to use some method of ancestral state inference based on that tree. One of the best-know...
