Unraveling recombination rate evolution using ancestral recombination maps
Recombination maps of ancestral species can be constructed from comparative analyses of genomes from closely related species, exemplified by a recently published map of the human-chimpanzee ancestor. Such maps resolve differences in recombination rate between species into changes along individual branches in the speciation tree, and allow identification of associated changes in the genomic sequ...
متن کاملSingle-crossover recombination and ancestral recombination trees.
We consider the Wright-Fisher model for a population of [Formula: see text] individuals, each identified with a sequence of a finite number of sites, and single-crossover recombination between them. We trace back the ancestry of single individuals from the present population. In the [Formula: see text] limit without rescaling of parameters or time, this ancestral process is described by a rando...
متن کاملConstructing Minimal Ancestral Recombination Graphs
By viewing the ancestral recombination graph as defining a sequence of trees, we show how possible evolutionary histories consistent with given data can be constructed using the minimum number of recombination events. In contrast to previously known methods, which yield only estimated lower bounds, our method of detecting recombination always gives the minimum number of recombination events if ...
متن کاملGene mapping via the ancestral recombination graph.
We present a multilocus gene mapping method based on linkage disequilibrium, which uses the ancestral recombination graph to model the history of sequences that may harbor an influential variant. We describe the construction of a recurrence equation used to make inferences about the location of a trait-influencing mutation. We demonstrate how a Monte Carlo algorithm combined with a local import...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Inference of Ancestral Recombination Graphs
The complex correlation structure of a collection of orthologous DNA sequences is uniquely captured by the "ancestral recombination graph" (ARG), a complete record of coalescence and recombination events in the history of the sample. However, existing methods for ARG inference are computationally intensive, highly approximate, or limited to small numbers of sequences, and, as a consequence, exp...
