まとめ

マキシマム・パーシモニーは,進化の速度は異質である場合,マキシマム・確率やベイジアン・マルコフ・チェーン・モンテ・カルロ (BMCMC) などのパラメトリック系遺伝学的方法よりも優れている. この発見は,生物学における進化的関係の正確な推定に極めて重要です.

科学分野:

系統遺伝学と進化生物学について
計算生物学とバイオインフォマティクス

背景:

正確な進化的関係は,比較生物学にとって根本的なものです.
系統遺伝学的分析では,最大パルシモニーよりも確率論的方法 (最大確率,BMCMC) をますます使用しています.
パラメトリック法は明示的な進化モデルを前提とし,マキシマム・パーシモニーは非パラメトリックである.

研究の目的:

異質な進化速度の下で系統遺伝学的方法の性能を評価する.
進化過程が時間とともに非同一である場合,パラメトリック方法が統計的に一貫しているかどうかを判断する.

主な方法:

変化する進化速度の異質性下でシミュレートされたシーケンスのデータ.
マキシマム・パルシモニー,マキシマム・確率,BMCMCの精度と統計的一貫性を比較した.
さまざまな系統遺伝的シナリオにおける方法の性能を評価した.

主要な成果:

最大確率とBMCMCは強くバイアスされ,非同一の進化率と統計的に矛盾する.
マキシマム・パルシモニー (Maximum Parsimony) は,中等から有意な進化速度の異質性下で優れたパフォーマンスを示しています.
マキシマム・パルシモニー (Maximum Parsimony) は,複雑な系統遺伝的再構築の問題においても堅実なままである.

結論:

現在のパラメトリック系統遺伝学方法 (ML,BMCMC) は,異質な配列進化では信頼できない可能性があります.
マキシマム・パルシモニー (Maximum Parsimony) は,異質的に進化する配列から進化的関係を推論するための,より統計的に一貫した,より堅牢なアプローチを提供します.
現実世界のデータにおける非同一の進化率の流行を考慮して,系統遺伝学的方法の選択の再評価が必要である.

Phase Transitions

Phase Transitions

Whether solid, liquid, or gas, a substance's state depends on the order and arrangement of its particles (atoms, molecules, or ions). Particles in the solid pack closely together, generally in a pattern. The particles vibrate about their fixed positions but do not move or squeeze past their neighbors. In liquids, although the particles are closely spaced, they are randomly arranged. The position of the particles are not fixed—that is, they are free to move past their neighbors to...

Properties of Transition Metals

Properties of Transition Metals

Transition metals are defined as those elements that have partially filled d orbitals. As shown in Figure 1, the d-block elements in groups 3–12 are transition elements. The f-block elements, also called inner transition metals (the lanthanides and actinides), also meet this criterion because the d orbital is partially occupied before the f orbitals.

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions

Cooperative Allosteric Transitions

Cooperative allosteric transitions can occur in multimeric proteins, where each subunit of the protein has its own ligand-binding site. When a ligand binds to any of these subunits, it triggers a conformational change that affects the binding sites in the other subunits; this can change the affinity of the other sites for their respective ligands. The ability of the protein to change the shape of its binding site is attributed to the presence of a mix of flexible and stable segments in the...

Phase Transitions: Vaporization and Condensation

Phase Transitions: Vaporization and Condensation

The physical form of a substance changes on changing its temperature. For example, raising the temperature of a liquid causes the liquid to vaporize (convert into vapor). The process is called vaporization—a surface phenomenon. Vaporization occurs when the thermal motion of the molecules overcome the intermolecular forces, and the molecules (at the surface) escape into the gaseous state. When a liquid vaporizes in a closed container, gas molecules cannot escape. As these gas phase molecules...

Phase Transitions: Sublimation and Deposition

Phase Transitions: Sublimation and Deposition

Some solids can transition directly into the gaseous state, bypassing the liquid state, via a process known as sublimation. At room temperature and standard pressure, a piece of dry ice (solid CO2) sublimes, appearing to gradually disappear without ever forming any liquid. Snow and ice sublimate at temperatures below the melting point of water, a slow process that may be accelerated by winds and the reduced atmospheric pressures at high altitudes. When solid iodine is warmed, the solid sublimes...

Phase Transitions: Melting and Freezing

Phase Transitions: Melting and Freezing

Heating a crystalline solid increases the average energy of its atoms, molecules, or ions, and the solid gets hotter. At some point, the added energy becomes large enough to partially overcome the forces holding the molecules or ions of the solid in their fixed positions, and the solid begins the process of transitioning to the liquid state or melting. At this point, the temperature of the solid stops rising, despite the continual input of heat, and it remains constant until all of the solid is...
