Inferring ancestral sequences in taxon-rich phylogenies.
Statistical consistency in phylogenetics has traditionally referred to the accuracy of estimating phylogenetic parameters for a fixed number of species as we increase the number of characters. However, it is also useful to consider a dual type of statistical consistency where we increase the number of species, rather than characters. This raises some basic questions: what can we learn about the...
متن کاملInferring gene order phylogenies by learning ancestral adjacencies
As genomes evolve over very long times, genes get rearranged which changes their order along the genome. The resulting differing orders for various species provide evidence of their phylogenetic relationships, particularly, from long ago. Indeed, this type of data is increasingly useful in sorting out evolutionary relationships [16, 17, 23]. In this paper, we give the first polynomial time algo...
متن کاملInferring Piecewise Ancestral History from Haploid Sequences
There has been considerable recent interest in the use of haplotype structure to aid in the design and analysis of case-control association studies searching for genetic predictors of human disease. The use of haplotype structure is based on the premise that genetic variations that are physically close on the genome will often be predictive of one another due to their frequent descent intact th...
متن کاملInferring phylogenies from DNA sequences of unequal base compositions.
A new method for computing evolutionary distances between DNA sequences is proposed. Contrasting with classical methods, the underlying model does not assume that sequence base compositions (A, C, G, and T contents) are at equilibrium, thus allowing unequal base compositions among compared sequences. This makes the method more efficient than the usual ones in recovering phylogenetic trees from ...
متن کاملInferring phylogenies of evolving sequences without multiple sequence alignment
Alignment-free methods, in which shared properties of sub-sequences (e.g. identity or match length) are extracted and used to compute a distance matrix, have recently been explored for phylogenetic inference. However, the scalability and robustness of these methods to key evolutionary processes remain to be investigated. Here, using simulated sequence sets of various sizes in both nucleotides a...
