A comparison of ancestral state reconstruction methods for quantitative characters.
Choosing an ancestral state reconstruction method among the alternatives available for quantitative characters may be puzzling. We present here a comparison of seven of them, namely the maximum likelihood, restricted maximum likelihood, generalized least squares under Brownian, Brownian-with-trend and Ornstein-Uhlenbeck models, phylogenetic independent contrasts and squared parsimony methods. A...
متن کاملAncestral Reconstruction
Ancestral reconstruction is the extrapolation back in time from measured characteristics of individuals (or populations) to their common ancestors. It is an important application of phylogenetics, the reconstruction and study of the evolutionary relationships among individuals, populations, or species to their ancestors. In the context of biology, ancestral reconstruction can be used to recover...
متن کاملAncestral Reconstruction for Association Mapping
One of the greatest promises of modern genetics is the ability to identify loci responsible for, or at least highly correlated with, important physical traits and disease susceptibility. This will enable benefits ranging from improved disease risk assessment and crop design to ultimately a better understanding of how genotype variation effects variations in phenotypes. A key component in this t...
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 کاملAncestral Genome Reconstruction in Bacteria
The rapid accumulation of numerous sequenced genomes has provided a golden opportunity for ancestral state reconstruction studies, especially in the whole genome reconstruction area. However, most ancestral genome reconstruction methods developed so far only focus on gene or replicon sequences instead of whole genomes. They rely largely on either detailed modeling of evolutionary events or edit...
