单一树上的系统发育混合物可以模仿另一种拓扑结构的树

Phylogenetic mixtures on a single tree can mimic a tree of another topology

Frederick A. Matsen, Mike Steel

摘要:

系统发育混合模型通常在数据中观察到的不均匀分子进化。系统发育重建方法的基础数据是由一个混合模型的性能引起了相当大的争论。大部分的争议源于一个给定的树拓扑结构的重建算法输出一个不同的拓扑结构的树的混合模型数据的模拟,这些研究结果被认为是特定的树重建方法的缺点。这样做的基本假设是,如果有足够的数据和“正确”的方法,一个拓扑结构上的混合模型数据可以与另一个拓扑结构的未混合树上的数据区分开来。在这里,我们证明这个假设可能是错误的。对于生物学家来说,我们的结果意味着,例如,来自两个基因的组合数据,其系统发育树仅在分支长度方面不同,可以完美地适合不同拓扑结构的树。

英文摘要:

Phylogenetic mixtures model the inhomogeneous molecular evolution commonly observed in data. The performance of phylogenetic reconstruction methods where the underlying data is generated by a mixture model has stimulated considerable recent debate. Much of the controversy stems from simulations of mixture model data on a given tree topology for which reconstruction algorithms output a tree of a different topology; these findings were held up to show the shortcomings of particular tree reconstruction methods. In so doing, the underlying assumption was that mixture model data on one topology can be distinguished from data evolved on an unmixed tree of another topology given enough data and the ``correct'' method. Here we show that this assumption can be false. For biologists our results imply that, for example, the combined data from two genes whose phylogenetic trees differ only in terms of branch lengths can perfectly fit a tree of a different topology.
