  6. The Human Genome Human has 23 chromosomes Human has 23 chromosomes

  7. DNA is a 4-letter Text A,C,G,T

  8. Molecular Evolution & Phylogeny • Organism represented by (DNA) Genome • There is a Universal Ancestor • Random mutation of DNA sequence leads to divergence and new species • Reqirement of fitness causes conservation of sequence • Sequence similarity  phylogeny

  9. SEQUENCE ALIGNMENT • Most important in studying sequence homoloy • Seq a: TACCATCGCAAACAT GG 17 - | | | | - | - | | | - _ | - __ - | Seq b: AACCACCACAAG ACCTCG 18 total length 19, matches 10, mismatches 6 gaps 1 single(SG), 1 extended (2, EG) Score: matches – (SG+EG)*P – (EG-1)*PE = P: penalty for SG (1) PE: penalty for EG (2) Score = 10 –2 –1 = 7 Similarity = matches/total length = 10/19 = 55%

  10. ALIGNMENT (II) • Result intuitive, evolution based • Widely used in sequence analysis – homology search, phylogeny, etc • Parameter dependent – many alignments possible (Needleman-Wunsch algorithm) • DNA & proteins sequences • Good software. E.g., BLAST, GCG,.. • Fast for length < 2000 • NP-complete problem for long and remotely related sequences, and for multiple alignments

  11. OLIGO FREQUENCY • Oligonucleotide (oligo): sequence several nucleotides long • There are 4^n oligos of length n • Complete set of frequencies of oligos characterizes a DNA sequence • Very fast to compute; scales with seq length • For multiple seqs, scales w/ no. of seqs • Related to alignment

  12. n-distance

  13. OLIGO FREQUENCY (II) • Relation w/ alignment • D: oligo distance • Oligo similarity S = 1- D/2 • In seq alignment, if % of matched bases is p, • Then % similarity is by def X = p • If oligo length is n, then, if all mutations (replace, delete and insert) are single, % similarity of each oligo is p^n • Hence, excluding correlations, S = p^n = X^n • With correlation, S = X^n + (1 – X^n)/4^n • For 1% accuracy, n >=7

  14. log S v.s. log X Simulated Random Mutations Oligo length = 9 oligo align

  15. log S v.s. log X Tree of Life (35 organisms) Oligo length = 9 oligo align

  16. OLIGO FREQUENCY (III) • Empirical: S = X^(kn), k ~ 2/3 • Why? Assumption: gaps (delete+insert) are single and uncorrelated. • Fact – most gaps are EXTENDED: if there is one, there will be more. • Because non-conserved parts are NOT protected by evolution. • Model generation of extended gap can get k~2/3 • Note: for two random seqs, X < 0.5

  17. log S v.s. log X Simulated Random Mutations with Extended gaps Oligo length = 9 oligo align

  18. Tree of Life (35 organisms) Bacteria A. aeolicus T. maritima Eukarya Archaea

  19. Oligo method is Robust • Three tests • Random truncation of 16S rRNA to 800 to 1200 bases (Bacteria and Archaea) • Random inversion of 16S rRNA (splice, reverse order and reconnect) • Random concatenation of 23S, 16S and 5S rRNA sequences (12 Bacteria and 6 Archaea)

  22. 16s rRNA InvertedOligo Bacteria A. aeolicus T. maritima Archaea

  23. 16s rRNA InvertedAlign T. maritima A. aeolicus

  24. 5s+16s +23s rRNAs Mixed Oligo Bacteria A. aeolicus Archaea T. maritima

  25. 5s+16s +23s rRNAs Mixed Align A. aeolicus T. maritima

  26. CONCLUSION • Oligo frequency characterizes DNA seqs • Oligo similarity is related to alignment similarity • Oligo vs alignment gives a handle on mechanism of generation of extended gaps • Oligo method is robust to truncation and inversions • Can be developed into a tool for analysis and comparison of long and multiple seqs
