Multiple Sequence AlignmentsandPhylogeny
SEQUENCE SIMILARITY
Within a protein sequence, some regions will be more conserved than others. As more conserved, more important. for function for 3D structure for localization for modification for interaction for regulation/control for transcriptional regulation

SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT Procedure for comparing two (pair-wise
alignment) or more (multiple sequence alignment) sequences by searching for similar patterns that are in the same order in the sequences Identical residues (nt or aa) are placed in the same
column Non-identical residues can be placed in the same
column or indicated as gaps

MULTIPLE SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT - MSAAlgorithm
1. Calculate all pair-wise alignment scores (alignment costs).
2. Use the scores (costs) to predict a tree.3. Calculate pair weights based on the tree.4. Produce a heuristic msa based on the tree.5. Calculate the maximum for each sequence
pair.6. Determine the spatial positions that must be
calculated to obtain the optimal alignment.7. Perform the optimal alignment.8. Report the epsilon found compared to the
maximum epsilon.epsilon for a given sequence pair is the difference between the score of the alignment of that pair in the msa and the score of the optimal pair-wise alignment. The bigger the value of , the more divergent the msa from the pair-wise alignment and the smaller the contribution of tht alignment to the msa. For example, if an extra copy of one of the sequences is added to the alignment project, then for sequence pairs that do not include that sequence will increase, indicating a lesser role because the contributions of that pair have been out-voted by the alike sequences.
PROGRESSIVE MULTIPLE SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT
Dynamical programming is designed for two sequences
It would take quite a long time for three or more (see MSA program)
Therefore… 1. Pair-wise all sequences2. Determine "distances between each one"3. Align the two most similar then get the
alignment4. Get the next more similar and perform the same
steps until all sequences has been included5. E.G.

PROGRESSIVE MULTIPLE SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT - PROBLEMS
Dependency on the most similar sequences Nested problems when most similar
sequences are actually different So, for closely related sequence, CLUSTALW is
the best
Choice of suitable scoring matrices

ITERATIVE MULTIPLE SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT
Try to correct for the dependency on the most similar sequences in progressive methods
Repeatedly realigning subgroups, then aligning these on the global alignment Based in tree ordering, separation of
sequences, or random grupo selection

MULTIPLE SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT - OVERVIEW
PHYLOGENY ANALYSIS AND PREDICTION FROM DNA/PROTEIN SEQUENCES
Determination of how the family might have been derived during evolution
Sequences is depicted as branches on a tree
Very similar sequences are located as neighbours in a branch
The goal is to discover all the branching relationships and the branch lengths
Bioinformatics – Sequence and Genome Analysis – Mount – CSH Lab Press
PHYLOGENY ANALYSIS AND PREDICTION FROM DNA/PROTEIN SEQUENCES
Phylogenetic relationships among the genes can help to predict which ones might have an equivalent function.
Phylogenetic analysis may also be used to follow the changes occurring in a rapidly changing species, such as a virus
Important for discovering function, 3D structure, localization, modification,
interaction, regulation/control, transcriptional regulation

EVOLUTIONARY TREE
An evolutionary tree is a two-dimensional graph showing evolutionary relationships among organisms
The separate sequences are referred to as taxa (singular taxon), defined as phylogenetically distinct units on the tree
The tree is composed of outer branches (or leaves) representing the taxa and nodes and branches representing relationships among the taxa
Bioinformatics – Sequence and Genome Analysis – Mount – CSH Lab Press
EVOLUTIONARY TREE
A and B are derived from a common ancestor
each node in the tree represents a splitting of the evolutionary path of the gene into two different species that are isolated reproductively
Bioinformatics – Sequence and Genome Analysis – Mount – CSH Lab Press
EVOLUTIONARY TREE
Beyond spliting, any further evolutionary changes in each new branch are independent of those in the other new branch
The length of each branch to the next node represents the number of sequence changes that occurred prior to the next level of separation
Bioinformatics – Sequence and Genome Analysis – Mount – CSH Lab Press
EVOLUTIONARY TREE
Uniform mutation rate Molecular Clock Hypothesis, suitable for closely related species
Special cases could use non-uniform rates
The root is defined by including a taxon that we are reasonably sure branched off earlier than the other
Bioinformatics – Sequence and Genome Analysis – Mount – CSH Lab Press
EVOLUTIONARY TREE
The sum of all the branch lengths in a tree is referred to as the tree length.
The tree is also a bifurcating or binary tree, in that only two branches emanate from each node.
Trees can have more than one branch emanating from a node if the events separating taxa are so close that they cannot be resolved, or to simplify the tree.
The unrooted tree also shows the evolutionary relationships among sequences A–D, but it does not reveal the location of the oldest ancestry.

EVOLUTIONARY TREE
The number of possible rooted trees increases very rapidly with the number of sequences or taxa
Bioinformatics – Sequence and Genome Analysis – Mount – CSH Lab Press
METHODS TO BUILD EVOLUTIONARY TREES
To find the evolutionary tree or trees that best account for the observed variation in a group of sequences
Maximum Parsimony Distance Maximum Likelihood
METHOD SELECTION
Bioinformatics – Sequence and Genome Analysis – Mount – CSH Lab Press
CONSIDERATIONS
Not Large number of gaps Phylogenetic methods analyze
conserved regions that are represented in all the sequences (Local Alignments)
MAXIMUM PARSIMONY (OR MINIMUM EVOLUTION)
Predicts the evolutionary tree by minimizing the number of steps required to generate the observed sequence changes
Requires a multiple sequence alignment Method revise each informative position
and each possible tree same residue in at least two sequences but not
all Used for sequences that are quite similar
and for small number of sequences
MAXIMUM PARSIMONY (OR MINIMUM EVOLUTION)
Noninformative
Bioinformatics – Sequence and Genome Analysis – Mount – CSH Lab Press
DISTANCE METHODS
Employs the number of changes between each pair
Sequence pairs that have the smallest number of sequence changes are "neighbours" sharing a node in the tree
Very related to Multiple sequence alignment method (CLUSTALW) which produced DISTANCE MATRICES then analysed by distance methods
Remember Distance vs Similarity (and gaps)
Bioinformatics – Sequence and Genome Analysis – Mount – CSH Lab Press
DISTANCE METHODS
Bioinformatics – Sequence and Genome Analysis – Mount – CSH Lab Press
"Idealized"
DISTANCE ALGORITHMS
Fitch and Margoliash Method Neighbor-joining Method Unweighted Pair Group Method
with Arithmetic Mean (UPGMA)
DISTANCE ALGORITHM
Choosing a outgroup (Grupo Fuera) improves prediction because methods are informed about the "order" of the outgroup
MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD
Uses probability of the number of sequence changes
Analysis is performed for each informative residue (like in maximum parsimony)
All possible trees are considered (so, for small number of sequences)
Consider variations in mutation rates, so it can be used for most distant sequences
Main disadvantage: Computation Time
MAXIMUM LIKELIHOOD
Needs a model that provides estimates of substitution rates for each residue pair
RELIABILITY OF PHYLOGENETIC PREDICTIONS
Bootstrap method randomly resampling residues within columns (robustness test) Good evidence if more than 70%
predictions are conserved then Collapse branches and confirm tree
length Compare distinct methods and
parameters
