Computational reconstruction of ancestral DNA sequences.
This chapter introduces the problem of ancestral sequence reconstruction: given a set of extant orthologous DNA genomic sequences (or even whole-genomes), together with a phylogenetic tree relating these sequences, predict the DNA sequence of all ancestral species in the tree. Blanchette et al. (1) have shown that for certain sets of species (in particular, for eutherian mammals), very accurate...
متن کاملBranch-and-Bound Reconstruction of Ancestral Sequences
The problem of ancestral sequence reconstruction is the statistical inference of sequences that correspond to internal nodes in a phylgenetic tree [1]. Joint reconstruction is the task of seeking the most likely set of ancestral states corresponding to all the ancestral taxa, while marginal reconstruction aims at inferring the sequence in a specific internal node. In simple probabilistic models...
متن کاملReconstruction of Ancestral Genomic Sequences Using Likelihood
A challenging task in computational biology is the reconstruction of genomic sequences of extinct ancestors, given the phylogenetic tree and the sequences at the leafs. This task is best solved by calculating the most likely estimate of the ancestral sequences, along with the most likely edge lengths. We deal with this problem and also the variant in which the phylogenetic tree in addition to t...
متن کاملBase pairing constraints drive structural epistasis in ribosomal RNA sequences.
It has long been accepted that the structural constraints stemming from the 3D structure of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) lead to coevolution through compensating mutations between interacting sites. State-of-the-art methods for detecting coevolving sites, however, while reaching high levels of specificity and sensitivity for Watson-Crick (WC) pairs of the helices defining the secondary structure, only ...
متن کاملMAVID: constrained ancestral alignment of multiple sequences.
We describe a new global multiple-alignment program capable of aligning a large number of genomic regions. Our progressive-alignment approach incorporates the following ideas: maximum-likelihood inference of ancestral sequences, automatic guide-tree construction, protein-based anchoring of ab-initio gene predictions, and constraints derived from a global homology map of the sequences. We have i...
