Linnaeus - Species Swedish (1708-1777) Developed hierarchical taxonomy (and pioneered scientific classification) Even though his classification scheme included mythic monsters, Goethe said he is comparable only to Shakespeare and Spinoza
Lemarck - adaptation Jean Baptiste Lamarck French (1744-1829) First specializing in invertebrate zoology, collecting samples for museums-gardens 1 paper in first 6 years as professor Controversial (geophysics, chemistry..) The “first” evolutionary theorist “Forming order” Complexification force Adaptive force

Kimura: Stochasticity, Neutrality Selectionists: Mutations are occurring by chance - some get selected and these are the changes we see between genomes Kimura et al.: Most of the changes between genomes are neutral - not a result of selection …ACGAATAGCAAATGGGCAGATGGCAGTCTAGATCGAAAGCATGAAACTAGATAGCAT… …ACGAATAGCAAATGGGCAGATGGCAGTCTAGATCGAAAGCATGAAACTAGATAGCAT… …ACGAATAGCAAAAGGGCAGATGGCATTCTAGATCGAAAGCATGAAACTAGATAGCAT… …ACGAATAGCAAATGGGCAGATGGCAGTCTAGATCGAAAGCATGAAACTAGATAGCAT… Kimura …ACGAATAGCAAATGGGCAGATGGCAGTCTAGATCGAAAGCATGAAACTAGATAGCAT…
Neutral Evolution Kimura’s analytic achievement was the solution of a certain class of Partial Differential Equations that describe the dynamic of allele frequencies under neutral evolution But we can try and understand the essence of neutral evolution even without fancy mathematics: Neutral changes Along the path are fixated Last common ancestor Coalescent time t=n t=1

Ohno: duplication Genome evolution is facilitated by duplications Underlying concept: modularity Based on protein families at start (Can you think of the challenges in explaining protein duplication?) Susumo Ohno – (1928-2000)
Yeast Genome duplication • The budding yeast S. cerevisiae genome have extensive duplicates • We can trace a whole genome duplication by looking at yeast species that lack the duplicates (K. waltii, A. gosypii) • Only a small fraction (5%) of the yeast genome remain duplicated
How can an organism tolerate genome duplication and massive gene loss? • Is this critical in evolving new functionality?

Antibiotic resistance: Staphylococcus aureus Timeline for the evolution of bacterial resistance in an S. aureus patient (Mwangi et al., PNAS 2007) • Skin based • killed 19,000 people in the US during 2005 (more than AIDS) • Resistance to Penicillin: 50% in 1950, 80% in 1960, ~98% today • 2.9MB genome, 30K plasmid • How do bacteria become resistant to antibiotics? • Can we eliminate resistance by better treatment protocols, given understanding of the evolutionary process?
Ultimate experiment: sequence the entire genome of the evolving S. aureus Mutations Resistance to Antibiotics 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15…18 1 2 3 4-6 7 S. Aureus found just few “right” mutations and survived multi-antibiotics
