  1. Some stories about evolution Wen-Ping Hsieh wphsieh@stat.nthu.edu.tw Institute of Statistics National Tsing Hua University Sep. 6, 2012

  2. Outline • Introduction to genetics • Genetic polymorphisms • Y-chromosome Adam and Mitochondria Eve • Human genome diversity

  3. A Quick Introduction to Genetics • DNA->RNA->Protein • Recombination • Mutation • Polymorphism

  4. Source: Wikipedia

  6. Recombination Rate • There are only a few crossover events occurred to each human chromosome in each meiosis. • Recombination rate is higher between two close loci. • Recombination rate is not consistent across chromosomes.

  7. DNA Polymorphisms • Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) • Microsatellites or Short Tandem Repeats (STR) • Insertion and deletion

  8. Fossil Evidence of Human Evolution

  9. Study of Blood Groups • Blood type ABO • Different allele frequency across populations

  10. Classification of Populations • With polymorphisms of ABO, RH and MN blood types, scientists can easily distinguish populations of the five continents. (The study of William Boyd) • When we count in more features, almost all populations can be distinguished. That is, people live in Taipei can be genetically different from people in Taichung if we consider enough numbers of genetic features.

  11. 適者生存 or 幸者生存 • Sickle Cell Anemia and Malaria defense • Natural selection • O blood type of native American • Founder's effect • Natural selection: Syphilis epidemics • Neutral genes

  12. Forces of Evolution • Mutation • Selection • Random drift • Migration

  13. Genetic Distances • How different are two individuals? • Difference between parents and children • Difference between grandparents and grandchildren • Difference between any two unrelated persons. • How different are two populations?

  14. Genetic Distance among Five Continents • The genetic distance was calculated from 100 genes for 15 Groups (three groups in each continent).

  15. Phylogeny Tree 亞洲 美洲 歐洲 大洋洲 非洲

  16. Y chromosome and Mitochondria • Y chromosome can be traced to back to one man in Africa.That specific male is called the Scientific Adam. • Both men and women carry mitochondria but only Moms pass it along. Hence, all our mitochondria can be traced to one single woman in Africa and she is called the Scientific Eve. • Both appeared at around 144,000 years ago. • Haplogroups

  17. Recent Viewpoint Meet the Denisovans, indigenous Australia's Siberian kin Source: The Australian

  18. How to Construct Phylogeny Tree • Distance-based • Neighbor-joinning • UPGMA • Maximum parsimony

  19. Evolutionary History of Human • DNAconsists more information than fossils. • The rules of DNA change is a lot more simpler than the metrics measured from fossils.

  20. European Haplogroups of mtDNA West Britain and Scandinavia http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~jswdna/haplogroupn.gif

  21. European Haplogroups of mtDNA Central and Eastern Europe, France, England

  22. European Haplogroups of mtDNA All around Europe

  23. European Haplogroups of mtDNA Northern Scandinavia, Saami

  24. European Haplogroups of mtDNA Eastern Baltic Sea, Ireland and the west of Britain

  25. European Haplogroups of mtDNA Ötzi the Iceman, Northern Italy, Around the Mediterranean 32% of people with Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry

  26. European Haplogroups of mtDNA Mediterranean, Greece, Italy/Sardinia and Spain Ireland, England-Wales, Scotland

  27. The Genographic Project

  28. Interactive Trail for the Journey of Mankind http://www.bradshawfoundation.com/journey/

  30. Inference with Y chromosome

  31. Other Side Stories • Y-chromosomal Aaron • Haplogroup J-P58 consist of more than 50% of Kohanim. It infers the most recent common ancestor living around 3200(± 1100) years ago. • Haplogroup J-M410 consist of around 14% of Kohanim. It infers the most recent common ancestor living around 4200(± 1300) years ago. • mtDNA and Y chromosome in Venezuela

  32. Conclusion • 統計是遺傳研究不可或缺的一部份 • 遺傳則是統計研究裡面充滿想像與驚奇的旅程
