Maximum Parsimony Phylogenetic Inference Using Simulated Annealing
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Maximum Parsimony (MP) problem aims at reconstructing a phylogenetic tree from DNA sequences while minimizing the total number of genetic transformations. In this paper we propose a carefully devised simulated annealing implementation, called SAMPARS (Simulated Annealing for Maximum PARSimony), for finding near-optimal solutions for the MP problem. Different possibilities for its key components and input parameter values were carefully analyzed and tunned in order to find the combination of them offering the best quality solutions to the problem at a reasonable computational effort. Its performance is investigated through extensive experimentation over well known benchmark instances showing that our SAMPARS algorithm is able to improve some previous best-known solutions.

متن کاملSimulated Annealing Model for Reticulate Evolution in Molecular Sequences
The molecular sequence in the nature are evolved rather than invented. They are adopted from preexisting sequences. The conventional assumption on of independent evolution has been challenged by the biological evidence of hybridization, horizontal gene transfer and recombination. In such a scenario classical approaches of representing evolution by phylogenetic tree construction method fails to ...
متن کاملProbabilistic methods surpass parsimony when assessing clade support in phylogenetic analyses of discrete morphological data
Fossil taxa are critical to inferences of historical diversity and the origins of modern biodiversity, but realizing their evolutionary significance is contingent on restoring fossil species to their correct position within the tree of life. For most fossil species, morphology is the only source of data for phylogenetic inference; this has traditionally been analysed using parsimony, the predom...
متن کاملHadamard Conjugation for the Kimura 3ST Model: Formal Proof
Hadamard conjugation is an analytic description of the relationship between the probabilities of expected site patterns of nucleotides from a set of homologous nucleotide sequences, and the parameters of some simple, yet powerful and popular models of sequence evolution on a proposed phylogeny T . An important application of these relations is to give a theoretical tool to analyse properties of...
متن کاملSurprising properties of Maximum Parsimony on phylogenetic networks
Phylogenetic inference aims at reconstructing the evolutionary relationships of different species given some data (e.g. DNA, RNA or proteins). Traditionally, the relationships between species were assumed to be treelike, so the most frequently used phylogenetic inference methods like Maximum Parsimony were originally introduced to reconstruct phylogenetic trees. However, it has been well-known ...
