Phylogenetic Trees03:21

Phylogenetic Trees

50.1K
Phylogenetic trees come in many forms. It matters in which sequence the organisms are arranged from the bottom to the top of the tree, but the branches can rotate at their nodes without altering the information. The lines connecting individual nodes can be straight, angled, or even curved.

The Evidence for Evolution02:55

The Evidence for Evolution

48.5K
Genetic variations accumulating within populations over generations give rise to biological evolution. Evolutionary changes can result in the formation of novel varieties and entire new species. These changes are responsible for the diverse forms of life inhabiting the planet. The evidence for evolution suggests that all living organisms descended from common ancestors.

Convergent Evolution01:54

Convergent Evolution

33.1K
Evolution shapes the features of organisms over time, ensuring that they are suited for the environments in which they live. Sometimes, selection pressure leads to the rise of similar but unrelated adaptations in organisms with no recent common ancestors, a process known as convergent evolution.

Binary Fission01:26

Binary Fission

3.4K
Binary fission is the primary mode of asexual reproduction in prokaryotes, such as bacteria. It results in the production of two genetically identical daughter cells. This highly efficient process ensures the rapid propagation of bacterial populations under favorable conditions and involves coordinated cellular and molecular events.DNA Replication and SeparationThe process begins with the replication of the bacterial chromosome. The circular DNA molecule unwinds at a specific origin of...

Binary Fission01:20

Binary Fission

64.6K
Fission is the division of a single entity into two or more parts, which regenerate into separate entities that resemble the original. Organisms in the Archaea and Bacteria domains reproduce using binary fission, in which a parent cell splits into two parts that can each grow to the size of the original parent cell. This asexual method of reproduction produces cells that are all genetically identical.

The Tree of Life - Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryotes02:40

The Tree of Life - Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryotes

39.5K
The “tree of life” describes the evolution of life and the evolutionary relationships between organisms. The root of the tree is the common ancestor to all life on Earth. All other species radiate from this point, much like the branches of a tree. The numerous tips of these branches on the tree of life represent every living, or extant, species. Extinct species, which are species that no longer exist, can be found towards the center of the tree. Currently, these organisms, both...

Area of Science:

  • Genomics
  • Computational Biology
  • Evolutionary Biology

Background:

  • Tumorigenesis is an evolutionary process driven by accumulating mutations, often initiated by a single mutated cell.
  • Phylogenetic models are valuable for reconstructing tumor evolution using genetic variation data.
  • Copy number variation (CNV) is a significant genomic marker in tumor development.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an improved algorithm for inferring tumor phylogenetic trees.
  • To utilize fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) data for accurate copy number variation analysis.
  • To enhance the characterization and classification of tumors based on evolutionary trajectories.

Main Methods:

  • An improved binary differential evolution algorithm, termed BDEP, was developed.
  • The algorithm infers tumor phylogenetic trees from single-cell FISH copy number variation data.
  • Comparative analysis with existing algorithms was performed.

Main Results:

  • Tumor subcell expansion pathways exhibit significant variation across different tumor formation stages.
  • Phylogenetic tree-based features demonstrate superior performance in tumor classification compared to data-based features.
  • The constructed phylogenetic trees accurately characterize tumor development processes.

Conclusions:

  • The BDEP algorithm provides a robust method for inferring tumor phylogeny from FISH CNV data.
  • Phylogenetic tree analysis offers valuable insights into tumor evolution and classification.
  • This approach enhances our understanding of tumor development and has potential clinical applications.
