5.1 Variation in DNA sequences
* Even closely related individuals differ in genetic sequences
* (point) mutations : copy error at certain location
* Sexual reproduction – diploid genome

Meiosis: diploid (=double) → haploid (=single)

Introduction to Bioinformatics5.1 VARIATION IN DNA SEQUENCES
* typing error rate very good typist: 1 error / 1K typed letters
* all our diploid cells constantly reproduce 7 billion letters
* typical cell copying error rate is ~ 1 error /1 Gbp

GERM LINE
Reverse time and follow your cells:
• Now you count ~ 1013 cells• One generation ago you had 2 cells ‘somewhere’ in your parents body• Small T generations ago you had (2T – multiple ancestors) cells• Large T generations ago you counted #(fertile ancestors) cells• Congratulations: you are 3.4 billion years old !!!
Fast-forward time and follow your cells:
• Only a few cells in your reproductive organs have a chance to live on in the next generations
• The rest (including you) will die …

GERM LINE MUTATIONS
This potentially immortal lineage of (germ) cells is called the GERM LINE
All mutations that we have accumulated are en route on the germ line
14
Introduction to Bioinformatics5.1 VARIATION IN DNA SEQUENCES
* Polymorphism : multiple possibilities for a nucleotide: allelle
* Single Nucleotide Polymorphism – SNP (“snip”) point mutation example: AAATAAA vs AAACAAA
* Humans: SNP = 1/1500 bases = 0.067%
* STR = Short Tandem Repeats (microsatelites) example: CACACACACACACACACA …
* Transition - transversion

5.3 Variation between species
* genetic variation accounts for morphological-physiological-behavioral variation
* Genetic variation (c.q. distance) relates to phylogenetic relation (=relationship)
* Necessity to measure distances between sequences: a metric
22
Introduction to Bioinformatics5.3 VARIATION BETWEEN SPECIES
Substitution rate
* Mutations originate in single individuals
* Mutations can become fixed in a population
* Mutation rate: rate at which new mutations arise
* Substitution rate: rate at which a species fixes new mutations
* For neutral mutations
23
Introduction to Bioinformatics5.3 VARIATION BETWEEN SPECIES
Substitution rate and mutation rate
* For neutral mutations
* ρ = 2Nμ*1/(2N) = μ
* ρ = K/(2T)
24

5.4 Estimating genetic distance
* Substitutions are independent (?)
* Substitutions are random
* Multiple substitutions may occur
* Back-mutations mutate a nucleotide back to an earlier value

26
Introduction to Bioinformatics 5.4 ESTIMATING GENETIC DISTANCE
* Saturation: on average one substitution per site
* Two random sequences of equal length will match for approximately ¼ of their sites
* In saturation therefore the proportional genetic distance is ¼
27
Introduction to Bioinformatics5.4 ESTIMATING GENETIC DISTANCE
* True genetic distance (proportion): K
* Observed proportion of differences: d
* Due to back-mutations K ≥ d

Introduction to Bioinformatics 5.4 ESTIMATING GENETIC DISTANCE
SEQUENCE EVOLUTION is a Markov process: a sequence at generation (= time) t depends only the sequence at generation t-1
29
Introduction to Bioinformatics 5.4 ESTIMATING GENETIC DISTANCE
The Jukes-Cantor model
Correction for multiple substitutions
Substitution probability per site per second is α
Substitution means there are 3 possible replacements (e.g. C → {A,G,T})
Non-substitution means there is 1 possibility(e.g. C → C)
30
Introduction to Bioinformatics 5.4 THE JUKES-CANTOR MODEL
Therefore, the one-step Markov process has the following transition matrix:
MJC =
A C G T
A 1-α α/3 α/3 α/3
C α/3 1-α α/3 α/3
G α/3 α/3 1-α α/3
T α/3 α/3 α/3 1-α
31
Introduction to Bioinformatics 5.4 THE JUKES-CANTOR MODEL
After t generations the substitution probability is:
M(t) = MJCt
Eigen-values and eigen-vectors of M(t):
λ1 = 1, (multiplicity 1): v1 = 1/4 (1 1 1 1)T
λ2..4 = 1-4α/3, (multiplicity 3): v2 = 1/4 (-1 -1 1 1)T
v3 = 1/4 (-1 -1 -1 1)T
v4 = 1/4 (1 -1 1 -1)T
32
Introduction to Bioinformatics 5.4 THE JUKES-CANTOR MODEL
Spectral decomposition of M(t):
MJCt = ∑i λi
tviviT
Define M(t) as:
MJCt =
Therefore, substitution probability s(t) per site after t generations is:
s(t) = ¼ - ¼ (1 - 4α/3)t
r(t) s(t) s(t) s(t)
s(t) r(t) s(t) s(t)
s(t) s(t) r(t) s(t)
s(t) s(t) s(t) r(t)
33
Introduction to Bioinformatics 5.4 THE JUKES-CANTOR MODEL
substitution probability s(t) per site after t generations:
s(t) = ¼ - ¼ (1 - 4α/3)t
observed genetic distance d after t generations ≈ s(t) :
d = ¼ - ¼ (1 - 4α/3)t

Introduction to Bioinformatics 5.4 THE JUKES-CANTOR MODEL
For small α the observed genetic distance is:
The actual genetic distance is (of course):
K = αt
So:
This is the Jukes-Cantor formula : independent of α and t.

The Jukes-Cantor formula :
For small d using ln(1+x) ≈ x : K ≈ d So: actual distance ≈ observed distance
For saturation: d ↑ ¾ : K →∞So: if observed distance corresponds to random sequence-distance then the actual distance becomes indeterminate

Include substitution bias in correction factor
Transition probability (G↔A and T↔C) per site per second is α
Transversion probability (G↔T, G↔C, A↔T, and A↔C) per site per second is β

Other models for nucleotide evolution
DEFICIT:
all above models assume symmetric substitution probs;
prob(A→T) = prob(T→A)
Now strong evidence that this assumption is not true
Challenge: incorporate this in a self-consistent model
