Adaptive molecular convergence • Definition • Methods to detect • Datasets and results • Sampling issues • Interpretational issues • Future
Defining molecular convergence • Surprisingly hard • It isn’t: • Divergence (adaptive or neutral) • Conservation or purifying selection • Retention of ancestral states with secondary changes in outgroups • ‘Neutral’ homoplasy • It ought to be: • ‘Adaptive’ homoplasies • ‘Excess’ homoplasies
Observations • ‘Adaptive convergence’ predicated on assumption adaptive sites ‘count’ more - conditions for detection? • Can parallel changes with dN/dS ~ 1 be ‘convergent’ • ‘Excess’ - a problematic definition without a good null model • Odds-ratio based? • Empirical CDF? • Eyeball…
Methods • Species phylogeny and inputs • Selection detection • Site-based methods • Tree-based methods
Site-based methods • Look at tips • Sample balance?
Site-based methods • Look at tips • Reconstruct ancestral changes
Site-based methods • Look at tips • Reconstruct ancestral changes • Pairwise P(conv) ~ P(div) changes
Site-based methods • Look at tips • Reconstruct ancestral changes • Pairwise P(conv) ~ P(div) changes • BEB posterior probabilities
Tree-based methods • de novo tree search • Inference error • Signal : noise • Multiple phylogenies
Tree-based methods • ∆SSLS (likelhood comparison) • Which hypotheses? • Multiple simultaneous comparisons? • Models insensitive • How extreme
Tree-based methods • Unrestricted / ennumerated phylogeny fitting
Trees and sites methods • dN/dS and ∆SSLS correlation
Trees and sites methods • Random control tree correction
Genomic approaches • Pool information across sites • Are loci comparable • Error rates? • Orthology, paralogy
Sampling • Sampling balance • Within locus • Between loci • Gene selection / ascertainment bias • Networks • Tree selection • a priori phylogenies
Convergence in echolocating mammals • 22 mammals, 2,326 loci • Convergence signals across genome
Convergence in echolocating bats • The • The
Convergence in mole-rats • The • The
Interpretational issues • Relative measure • Strength of evidence • Null model? Sampling? Which phylogenies
Interpretation • Notional convergence detected genomically, or not at all • Selection, incongruence • Which trees?
Which Trees? • Choice of hypothesis, subtly different from usual practice • If we accept tree space distance important… • … Hypotheses are parameters • Ennumerate over trees?
Future directions • Null model • Alternative (convergent) model • Tree space distance
Conclusion • Strong evidence molecular convergence, or something like our best definition of it, is a pervasive force • Very early work; contrast with e.g. early dN/dS tests
