Biological Trees

Given a distance matrix, is it additive?
How to get the distance matrix? Distance between human and mouse?

  • You can additive tree nearest neighbor (proved 1987)

Four point test for additive matrix

  • Check that the latter value are equal to each other, and that the leq statement holds true. If that is true, then the matrix is additive
    Pair top with bottom
  • P1:
  • P2:

Molecular Clock Theory

  1. Mutations are rare, AND occur at the same rate
  2. Single origin

Time zero is the time of mutation.
Ultrametric tree: Distance/height is time

  • Can be created using UPGMA algo
    Also, even if data not ultrametric => Create ultrametric tree

Distance matrix is ultrametric? 3-pt test

  • In a set of three, one is smaller and the other two are the same if the data is ultrametric

Jukes Cantor Distance Matrix

All distance matrix come from alignment
JC69 - Markov chain model for DNA sequences

  • The state of an event only depends on the state immediately preceding it (t-1 / prev)
ATCG
A
T
C
G
- Prob of mutation
  • Tends to be small
    - No Mutation

Distance Between Two Sequences

  • percentage dif

s1 = ATCCATCG
s2 = ATTCATGG
pt = 2/8

  • 6 matches, 2 different, out of six
