Inferring reticulate evolution networks from consensus gene trees
Motivation: A major unresolved problem in phylogeny is to reconstruct the evolutionary history of a set of species when it cannot be modeled by a simple tree. When a reticulation event, such as hybrid speciation or horizontal transfer, occurs, separate regions of a species’ genetic data may evolve along different trees. Our approach uses the gene trees for each region to solve the inverse probl...
متن کاملFrom Gene Trees to Species Trees
This paper studies various algorithmic issues in reconstructing a species tree from gene trees under the duplication and the mutation cost model. This is a fundamental problem in computational molecular biology. Our main results are as follows. 1. A linear time algorithm is presented for computing all the losses in duplications associated with the least common ancestor mapping from a gene tree ...
متن کاملProperties of consensus methods for inferring species trees from gene trees.
Consensus methods provide a useful strategy for summarizing information from a collection of gene trees. An important application of consensus methods is to combine gene trees to estimate a species tree. To investigate the theoretical properties of consensus trees that would be obtained from large numbers of loci evolving according to a basic evolutionary model, we construct consensus trees fro...
متن کاملInferring Species Trees from Gene Trees in a Radiation of California Trapdoor Spiders (Araneae, Antrodiaetidae, Aliatypus)
BACKGROUND The California Floristic Province is a biodiversity hotspot, reflecting a complex geologic history, strong selective gradients, and a heterogeneous landscape. These factors have led to high endemic diversity across many lifeforms within this region, including the richest diversity of mygalomorph spiders (tarantulas, trapdoor spiders, and kin) in North America. The trapdoor spider gen...
متن کاملImprovements to a Class of Distance Matrix Methods for Inferring Species Trees from Gene Trees
Among the methods currently available for inferring species trees from gene trees, the GLASS method of Mossel and Roch (2010), the Shallowest Divergence (SD) method of Maddison and Knowles (2006), the STEAC method of Liu et al. (2009), and a related method that we call Minimum Average Coalescence (MAC) are computationally efficient and provide branch length estimates. Further, GLASS and STEAC h...
