DNA Assembly with Gaps: Simulating Sequence Evolution Reed A. Cartwright Department of Genetics University of Georgia
Synopsis • Explain the importance of simulations. • Introduce Dawg, a new sequence simulation program. • Example usage of Dawg. RA Cartwright rac@uga.edu - http://scit.us/
Why Simulate Phylogenies? • Biologists use many techniques to reconstruct phylogenies based on biological data. • However, true phylogenies are unknown, except for a few instances. • How then can we test the accuracy of these reconstruction methods? • Use simulations. RA Cartwright rac@uga.edu - http://scit.us/
Why Simulate Phylogenies? • Techniques are often based on certain models of evolution. • Simulating sequence evolution based on these models produces an ideal situation to test the techniques. • Using other models can test how robust a technique is. RA Cartwright rac@uga.edu - http://scit.us/
A A B B C C D D A B C D Testing Procedure 1. Start with a “known” tree. 3. Estimate the trees of the simulated data. 2. Simulate sequence sets based on the tree. 4. Compare estimated trees to the original tree.

Simulating Evolution • Proper simulation of molecular evolution should include both substitutions and indels. • However, existing programs either do not include indels or use an unjustified model of indel formation. • Dawg was created to address this gap. RA Cartwright rac@uga.edu - http://scit.us/
What is Dawg? • Dawg stands for “DNA Assembly with Gaps.” • A portable and robust program for simulating molecular evolution. • Development Website: http://scit.us/dawg/ RA Cartwright rac@uga.edu - http://scit.us/

Estimating Indel Rate • Dawg would be of little benefit if biologists could not estimate parameters of indel formation from real data. • Dawg’s indel model allows such estimation, which is implemented in a Perl script, lambda.pl. RA Cartwright rac@uga.edu - http://scit.us/
Example Usage:Confidence Interval of Indel Rate • I aligned the sequences of chloroplast trnK introns from two Hibiscus and two Prunus species. • Using Paup*, I estimated the phylogeny and substitution parameters. • Using lambda.pl, I estimated the indel formation parameters. RA Cartwright rac@uga.edu - http://scit.us/
Example Usage • From these estimated parameters of evolution, I constructed an input file for Dawg. • From the input file Dawg produced a thousand simulated sequence sets. • The rate of indel formation was estimated for each of the simulated sequences. RA Cartwright rac@uga.edu - http://scit.us/
Results • The estimated rate of indel formation was 0.143120. • Bootstrapping gave a 95% CI of 0.078530 to 0.213560. • Biologically this is 8 to 21 indels per 100 substitutions. RA Cartwright rac@uga.edu - http://scit.us/
