Phylogenomics Original definition the application of phylogenetic information for gene function analysis (Eisen, 1998) Recent usage species evolution based on whole genome analyses (for example, Dunn et al., 2008) various types of studies at the intersection of genomics and phylogenetics 2www.phyloxml.org

The application of phylogenetic information for gene function analysis RAT MOUSE HUMAN CIONA RAT CIONA MOUSE HUMAN CIONA RAT CIONA Y Z : query sequence : orthologous to query : most similar to query : gene duplication RAT X Z Y 3www.phyloxml.org

What information do we need for a phylogenomic analysis (sequence function analysis type)? In phylogenomic analyzes, tree nodes might be annotated with: Sequence name Species name Duplication: true/false Branches might be annotated with: Branch lengths Support values (bootstrap, probability, …) 4www.phyloxml.org
5
What information might we need for other types of phylogenomic analyses? Support values (possible multiple) Taxonomy information (possibly detailed) Geographic information Host/parasite data (relation between tree nodes) Gene expression values Genomic location Mutations, variation, disease … 5www.phyloxml.org
6
How is this information processed and stored? Tree topologies are described by hierarchical parenthesis: ((A,B),C) Unique tree node labels mapped to text files, spreadsheets, databases Manual processing of text files with text editors Macros, shell scripts, Perl scripts New Hamphshire eXtended (NHX) format Adds tags for different fields: Species: S= Bootstrap support: B= Example: ADH2:0.1[&&NHX:S=human:B=90] http://www.phylosoft.org/forester/NHX.html 6www.phyloxml.org
7
How is this information published? Mostly as images of phylogenetic trees in journals not suitable as input for further studies! Submission to (publicly accessible) databases rare 7www.phyloxml.org
8
Problems with this approach Tedious Error prone Published images are difficult to use as input for further studies Meta-analyzes are hard Different, and incompatible, “dialects” of NHX appeared Limited expressiveness 8www.phyloxml.org
