2. http://cs273a.stanford.edu [Bejerano Fall09/10] 2 Lecture 6 Genome Evolution Chromosomal Mutations Paralogy & Orthology Chains & Nets

3. http://cs273a.stanford.edu [Bejerano Fall09/10] 3 One Cell, One Genome, One Replication Every cell holds a copy of all its DNA = its genome. The human body is made of ~10 13 cells. All originate from a single cell through repeated cell divisions. cell genome = all DNA chicken ≈ 10 13 copies (DNA) of egg (DNA) chicken egg cell division DNA strings = Chromosomes

4. Mutation Rate per bp 10 -9 per base pair per cell division This refers to mutations that are not repaired Thus, there are at least six new mutations in each kid that were not present in either parent Mutations range from the smallest possible (single base pair change) to the largest – whole genome duplication. Selection does not tolerate all of these mutation, but it sure does tolerate some. chicken egg chicken 4

5. 5 Example: Human-Chimp Genomic Differences Number of events Nucleotide substitutions Indels < 10 Kb Microinversions < 100 Kb Deletions/Duplications Microinversions > 100 Kb Pericentric inversions Fusion 1% 3% Open question..

6. Chromosomal (ie Big) Mutations May Involve: –Changing the structure of a chromosome –The loss or gain of part of a chromosome

7. Chromosome Mutations Five types exist: –Deletion –Inversion –Translocation –Nondisjunction –Duplication

8. Deletion Due to breakage A piece of a chromosome is lost

9. Inversion Chromosome segment breaks off Segment flips around backwards Segment reattaches

10. Duplication Occurs when a gene sequence is repeated

11. Whole Genome Duplication at the Base of the Vertebrate Tree http://cs273a.stanford.edu [Bejerano Fall09/10] 11 Xen.Laevis WGD

12. Translocation Involves two chromosomes that aren’t homologous Part of one chromosome is transferred to another chromosomes

13. Nondisjunction Failure of chromosomes to separate during meiosis Causes gamete to have too many or too few chromosomes Disorders: –Down Syndrome – three 21 st chromosomes –Turner Syndrome – single X chromosome –Klinefelter’s Syndrome – XXY chromosomes

17. http://cs273a.stanford.edu [Bejerano Fall09/10] 17 Terminology Orthologs : Genes related via speciation (e.g. C,M,H3) Paralogs: Genes related through duplication (e.g. H1,H2,H3) Homologs: Genes that share a common origin (e.g. C,M,H1,H2,H3) Species tree Gene tree Speciation Duplication Loss single ancestral gene

18. http://cs273a.stanford.edu [Bejerano Fall09/10] 18 Gene trees and even species trees are figments of our (scientific) imagination Species trees and gene trees can be wrong. All we really have are extant observations, and fossils. Species tree Gene tree Speciation Duplication Loss single ancestral gene Observed Inferred

21. 21 Chaining Alignments Chaining highlights homologous regions between genomes (it bridges the gulf between syntenic blocks and base-by-base alignments. Local alignments tend to break at transposon insertions, inversions, duplications, etc. Global alignments tend to force non-homologous bases to align. Chaining is a rigorous way of joining together local alignments into larger structures.

26. http://cs273a.stanford.edu [Bejerano Fall09/10] 26 Chains join together related local alignments Protease Regulatory Subunit 3 likely ortholog likely paralogs

27. http://cs273a.stanford.edu [Bejerano Fall09/10] 27 Chains a chain is a sequence of gapless aligned blocks, where there must be no overlaps of blocks' target or query coords within the chain. Within a chain, target and query coords are monotonically non- decreasing. (i.e. always increasing or flat) double-sided gaps are a new capability (blastz can't do that) that allow extremely long chains to be constructed. not just orthologs, but paralogs too, can result in good chains. but that's useful! chains should be symmetrical -- e.g. swap human-mouse -> mouse- human chains, and you should get approx. the same chains as if you chain swapped mouse-human blastz alignments. chained blastz alignments are not single-coverage in either target or query unless some subsequent filtering (like netting) is done. chain tracks can contain massive pileups when a piece of the target aligns well to many places in the query. Common causes of this include insufficient masking of repeats and high-copy-number genes (or paralogs). [Angie Hinrichs, UCSC wiki]

29. http://cs273a.stanford.edu [Bejerano Fall09/10] 29 Chaining Algorithm Input - blocks of gapless alignments from blastz Dynamic program based on the recurrence relationship: score(B i ) = max(score(B j ) + match(B i ) - gap(B i, B j )) Uses Miller’s KD-tree algorithm to minimize which parts of dynamic programming graph to traverse. Timing is O(N logN), where N is number of blocks (which is in hundreds of thousands) j<i

30. http://cs273a.stanford.edu [Bejerano Fall09/10] 30 Netting Alignments Commonly multiple mouse alignments can be found for a particular human region, particularly for coding regions. Net finds best match mouse match for each human region. Highest scoring chains are used first. Lower scoring chains fill in gaps within chains inducing a natural hierarchy.

31. Chains & Nets: How they’re built 3: “Net” the chains heuristically to find “best guess” of orthologs – Pick highest-scoring chains that do not overlap chains already added to net – Single coverage in target (reference), not in query – Not symmetrical 31

32. http://cs273a.stanford.edu [Bejerano Fall09/10] 32 Net Focuses on Ortholog

33. http://cs273a.stanford.edu [Bejerano Fall09/10] 33 Nets a net is a hierarchical collection of chains, with the highest-scoring non-overlapping chains on top, and their gaps filled in where possible by lower-scoring chains, for several levels. a net is single-coverage for target but not for query. because it's single-coverage in the target, it's no longer symmetrical. the netter has two outputs, one of which we usually ignore: the target- centric net in query coordinates. The reciprocal best process uses that output: the query-referenced (but target-centric / target single- cov) net is turned back into component chains, and then those are netted to get single coverage in the query too; the two outputs of that netting are reciprocal-best in query and target coords. Reciprocal- best nets are symmetrical again. nets do a good job of filtering out massive pileups by collapsing them down to (usually) a single level. [Angie Hinrichs, UCSC wiki]
