Phylogenetic Trees • Importance of phylogenetic trees • What is the phylogenetic analysis • Example of cladistics • Assumptions in cladistics • Frequently used terms • Fundamentals of Phylogenetc models • Phylogenetic software
Importance of Phylogenetic Tree • Classification is important to understand • Evolutionary history of an Organism • Study of Biological Diversity • Organization • Progressive Multiple Sequence Alignment
What is Phylogenetic Analysis • Study of evolutionary relationship • Inferring or estimating relationship • Usually presented as branching, tree • Gene Tree: Inherited relatioships • It is also called cladistics • clade means branch in Greek • Member of group/clade share a common rel.
Assumptions in Cladistics • Any group of oragnisms is related by descent from a common ancestor • Members of a group or clade share common evolutionary history • A group sharing a unique feature, different from other groups • There is bifurrcating pattern of cladogenesis • Change in charterstics occurs in lineages over time
Frequently Used Terms • Clade: A monophyletic taxon. Clades are group of organisms • Taxon: Named group or organisms but not necessarily a clade • Branch Length: In some case it repersent divergence • Node: A bifurcating branch point
Fundamentals of Phylogenetic Models • Sequence alignment (AMPS,Clustal-W) • Substitution model (weight model) • Rates between Bases • Site Substitution(overall compositional change) • Tree building • Tree Evaluation
Tree Building • Distance Based Methods • UPGMA: Unweighted Pair Group Method It is a Clustring algorithm, it cluster tree branches based on greatest similarity among pairs and averages of joined pairs • NJ: Neighbor Joining First, it join nearest pair in start and then continue till one remain • Character-Based • Maximum Parismony (MP) • Maximum Likelihood (ML)
Tree Evaluation • Randomize Tree • Randomize Character Data • Bootstrap • Likelihood Test
