  5. What is HGT? Genes can be passed vertically – from ancestor to a child Genes also can be passed horizontally – exchange of genes between different species HGT stands for Horizontal Gene Transfer

  6. How Tree-like is Organismal Evolution? • Horizontal Gene Transfer  Mosaic Genomes Science,280 p.672ff (1998)

  7. How many common genes? Escherichia coli, strain CFT073, uropathogenic Escherichia coli, strain EDL933, enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli K12, strain MG1655, laboratory strain, “… only 39.2% of their combined (nonredundant) set of proteins actually are common to all three strains.” Welch RA, et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 2002; 99:17020-4

  8. Organismal Lineage What is an “organismal lineage” in light of horizontal gene transfer? Over veryshort time intervalsan organismal lineage can be defined as themajority consensus of genes.

  9. Rope as a metaphor to describe an organismal lineage (Gary Olsen) Individual fibers= genes that travel for some time in a lineage. While no individual fiber (gene) present at the beginning might be present at the end, the rope (or the organismal lineage) nevertheless has continuity.

  10. However, the genome as a whole will acquire the character of the incoming genes (the rope turns solidly red over time).

  11. From:Bill Martin (1999)BioEssays 21, 99-104

  12. Selection of Orthologous Gene Families All automated methods for assembling sets of orthologous genes are based on sequence similarities. BLAST hits Triangular circular BLAST significant hits (COG, or Cluster of Orthologous Groups) Sequence identity of 30% and greater (SCOP database) Similarity complemented by HMM-profile analysis Pfam database Reciprocal BLAST hit method

  13. Reciprocal BLAST Hit Method 2’ 1 2 1 2 3 4 3 4 0 gene family 1 gene family often fails in the presence of paralogs

  23. BranchClust Algorithm Implementation and Usage The BranchClust algorithm is implemented in Perl with the use of the BioPerl module for parsing trees and is freely available at http://bioinformatics.org/branchclust Required: 1.Bioperl module for parsing trees  Bio::TreeIO 2. Taxa recognition file gi_numbers.out must be present in the current directory. How to create this file, read the Taxa recognition file section on the web-site. Usage: At the command line type: # perl branch_clust.pl <tree-file> <MANY> Output: families.list, clusters.out, clusters.log How to do batch processing: Example of a wrapper you can find on the web-site. www.bioinformatics.org/branchclust

  24. BranchClust Algorithm Data Flow Align with ClustalW Download n complete genomes (ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/genomes/Bacteria) In fasta format (*.faa) Reconstruct superfamily tree ClustalW –quick distance method Phyml – Maximum Likelihood Put all n genomes in one database Take one starting genome and do BLAST of this genome against the database, consisting of n genomes Parse with BranchClust Gene families Parse BLAST-output with the requirement that all n-taxa should be present Superfamilies www.bioinformatics.org/branchclust

  25. Why do we need gene families? How many genes are common between different species? Do all the common genes share the common history? How do we reconstruct the tree of life? How can we detect genes that were horizontally transferred?

  26. Methods of HGT Detection • Parametric methods • GC-content analysis • analysis of single nucleotide composition (SNC) and dinucleotide composition (DNC) • codon usage bias • other measures based on sequence composition • Phylogenetic methods • AU-test • SPR metric (NP-hard problem) • Symmeytric difference of Robison and Foulds • Biparition spectrum analysis • Quartet spectrum analysis

  27. AU test Hidetoshi Shimodaira (2002) P1 P2 AU test, or approximately unbiased test of phylogenetic tree selection was proposed for assessing the confidence of tree selection. The AU test method produces for each tree a number ranging from zero to one – (P1 and P2). This number Is the probability value that the tree is the true tree. The greater the P-value, the greater the probability that the tree is the true tree. If P1 = genome tree , and P2 = gene tree, then the AU test provides the probability that P1 is the true tree for the gene family. One would expect that a tree with different topology would have a small P-value. Accepted requirement for HGT detection: unclear P-Value < 1E-2 – 1E-4

  28. Some Metrics to Compare Tree Topologies • SPR – distance • Symmetric Difference of Robinson and Foulds (bipartition distance) • Quartet distance

  29. SPR metric – Subtree Pruning and Regrafting is very hard computationally There are no toolsavailable to calculate the difference In tree topology by number of SPR-operations required to transform one tree to another. There is Robert Beiko’s program.. Also the SPR distance alone would not consider support levels. That is why bipartitions come into the scene

  30. Spectral Analyses of Phylogenetic Data Phylogenetic information present in genomes Break information into small quanta of information (bipartitions or embedded quartets) Analyze spectra to detect transferred genes and plurality consensus.

  31. BIPARTITION OF A PHYLOGENETIC TREE Bipartition (or split) – a division of a phylogenetic tree into two parts that are connected by a single branch. It divides a dataset into two groups, but it does not consider the relationships within each of the two groups. Number of non-trivial bipartitions for N genomes is equal to 2(N-1)-N-1. C D E A B C D B A E *...* *.*.* **… ***.. Bipartitions can be divided inconflicting andnon-conflicting non-conflicting (can coexist in one tree) conflicting (can not coexist in one tree) **… ***.. **… *…*

  32. The Tree Drawing Process Try to infer phylogeny Choose/ make consensus unclear “Likely” Trees “Best” Tree

  33. Obtaining Bootstrap Support for Branches Now bipartitions have weights: .**….. 65 ***….. 75 …**… 75 …..*** 100 ……** 100 Resampling e.g.. bootstrapping A 75 B 65 C D 75 E F 100 100 G H *.*….. 75 Resampling simulates examining extra sequence from the original data

  34. Data Flow Bipartitions matrix is generated select gene families **….. *.*…. *…*…. *….*…. etc. fam1 71 34 0 99 fam2 56 2 0 76 fam3 1 99 1 99 … famN 34 99 0 99 For every gene family, align sequences (ClustalW) For every gene family, reconstruct Maximum Likelihood (ML) Tree and generate 100 bootstrap samples (phyml) Do “Lento” Plot analysis Results: For every gene family, extract bipartition information from each bootstrapped tree, and compose a bipartition matrix majority consensus bipartitions detected conflicts = HGT events

  37. Consensus Tree and Horizontally Transferred Gene Consensus clusters of eight significantly supported bipartitions Phylogeny of putatively transferred gene(virulence factor homologs (mviN)) only 258 genes analyzed

  38. What are the Actual HGT Rates? Are the detected transfers mainly false positives, or are they the tip of an iceberg of many transfer events most of which go undetected by current methods? Here we explore how well these methods perform using in silico transfers between the leaves of a gamma proteobacterial phylogeny.

  39. HGT in silico: Testing Methods of Detection • AU test • Symmetric Difference of Robinson – Foulds • Biparition Analysis
