This study introduces new methods for phylogenetic inference using RNA secondary structures. Algorithms for edit distances and 3-median computations are presented to overcome mutation saturation in ancient sequences.

Area of Science:

  • Bioinformatics
  • Computational Biology
  • Molecular Evolution

Background:

  • Mutation saturation in ancient molecular sequences hinders accurate phylogenetic inference.
  • Higher-order molecular data, like RNA structures, offer slower evolutionary rates for more reliable phylogenies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To define edit distances for RNA secondary structure representations (arc and hierarchical string annotation).
  • To develop algorithms for computing these distances, sequence alignments, and 3-median annotated sequences.
  • To apply these algorithms within iterative heuristics for phylogenetic tree construction.

Main Methods:

  • Defined edit distances for arc and hierarchical string annotations of RNA secondary structures.
  • Developed algorithms for pairwise sequence alignment and 3-median computation using these annotations.

    • Provided algorithms for aligning annotated sequences and computing 3-medians.
    • Demonstrated the utility of these algorithms in phylogenetic inference.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed algorithms offer a robust approach to phylogenetic inference from RNA secondary structures.
    • These methods effectively address challenges posed by mutation saturation in ancient molecular data.
    • The work contributes to advancing computational methods in molecular evolution and bioinformatics.
