系统发育网络

Phylogenetic Networks

Elizabeth Gross, Colby Long, Joseph Rusinko

摘要:

系统发生学是研究生物之间进化关系的学科。该领域的主要挑战之一是获取一组有机体的生物学数据,并推断出进化树,即代表这些关系的图。开发实用和有效的方法来推断系统发育树,导致了许多有趣的数学问题,在各个领域。然而,由于杂交和基因流动,系统发育网络可能是一些生物群体进化历史的更好代表。在这一章中,我们介绍了一些基本的概念,在系统发育遗传学,并提出了相关的本科生研究项目的系统发育网络,涉及到图论和抽象代数领域。在第一部分中,我们描述了几个开放的研究问题,与组合的系统发育网络。在第二部分中,我们描述了与理解系统发育统计模型的代数簇相关的问题。

英文摘要:

Phylogenetics is the study of the evolutionary relationships between organisms. One of the main challenges in the field is to take biological data for a group of organisms and to infer an evolutionary tree, a graph that represents these relationships. Developing practical and efficient methods for inferring phylogenetic trees has lead to a number of interesting mathematical questions across a variety of fields. However, due to hybridization and gene flow, a phylogenetic network may be a better representation of the evolutionary history of some groups of organisms. In this chapter, we introduce some of the basic concepts in phylogenetics, and present related undergraduate research projects on phylogenetic networks that touch on areas of graph theory and abstract algebra. In the first section, we describe several open research questions related to the combinatorics of phylogenetic networks. In the second, we describe problems related to understanding phylogenetic statistical models as algebraic varieties.
