Using allele frequencies and geographic subdivision to reconstruct gene trees within a species: molecular variance parsimony.
We formalize the use of allele frequency and geographic information for the construction of gene trees at the intraspecific level and extend the concept of evolutionary parsimony to molecular variance parsimony. The central principle is to consider a particular gene tree as a variable to be optimized in the estimation of a given population statistic. We propose three population statistics that ...
متن کاملSpecies Trees Forcing Parsimony to Fail
The fact that Parsimony may fail is not new. However, here we proved that no mater of what topology the true 9-taxon and greater species tree is the only thing you need to fail Parsimony is to have in this tree three consecutive edges with lengths T1, T2, T3 of some proportions. Obviously, the probability to meet these lengths is growing in general with the size of species tree. Therefore, Pars...
متن کاملA measure of population subdivision based on microsatellite allele frequencies.
A new measure of the extent of population subdivision as inferred from allele frequencies at microsatellite loci is proposed and tested with computer simulations. This measure, called R(ST), is analogous to Wright's F(ST) in representing the proportion of variation between populations. It differs in taking explicit account of the mutation process at microsatellite loci, for which a generalized ...
متن کاملGene Tree Parsimony for Incomplete Gene Trees
Species tree estimation from gene trees can be complicated by gene duplication and loss, and “gene tree parsimony” (GTP) is one approach for estimating species trees from multiple gene trees. In its standard formulation, the objective is to find a species tree that minimizes the total number of gene duplications and losses with respect to the input set of gene trees. Although much is known abou...
متن کاملSubdivision in an ancestral species creates asymmetry in gene trees.
We consider gene trees in three species for which the species tree is known. We show that population subdivision in ancestral species can lead to asymmetry in the frequencies of the two gene trees not concordant with the species tree and, if subdivision is extreme, cause the one of the nonconcordant gene trees to be more probable than the concordant gene tree. Although published data for the hu...
