什么时候可以重建祖国?一个统一的理论

When can we reconstruct the ancestral state? A unified theory

Lam Si Tung Ho, Vu Dinh

摘要:

祖先状态重建是进化生物学的重要任务之一。我们可以可靠地重建祖先状态的条件下,已经研究了离散和连续性状。然而,这些结果之间的联系尚不清楚,而且似乎每个模型需要不同的条件。在这项工作中,我们提供了一个统一的理论上的一致性祖先状态重建的各种类型的性状进化模型。值得注意的是,我们表明,一系列的嵌套树有界的高度,存在一致的祖先状态重建方法的必要和充分条件下离散模型,布朗运动模型和阈值模型是等价的。当树的高度是无限的,我们提供了一个简单的反例来证明这种等价不再有效。

英文摘要:

Ancestral state reconstruction is one of the most important tasks in evolutionary biology. Conditions under which we can reliably reconstruct the ancestral state have been studied for both discrete and continuous traits. However, the connection between these results is unclear, and it seems that each model needs different conditions. In this work, we provide a unifying theory on the consistency of ancestral state reconstruction for various types of trait evolution models. Notably, we show that for a sequence of nested trees with bounded heights, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a consistent ancestral state reconstruction method under discrete models, the Brownian motion model, and the threshold model are equivalent. When tree heights are unbounded, we provide a simple counter-example to show that this equivalence is no longer valid.
