Codon models
< 1 purifying selection = 1 neutral evolution > 1 positive selection

• Based on continuous-time Markov models of codon evolution
• Compare null model allowing for negative
selection (ω<1) or neutral evolution (ω=1)
with alternative model additionally allowing
for positive selection (ω>1)
• Both models allow ω to vary across sites
• Can have foreground branches with PS and background branches without
• Applied separately to each gene

29-1 = 511 possible selection histories on the 9 branch
mammalian phylogeny

• Many of the likelihoods of the 511 models might be very similar or identical.
• Models are not nested.
• Bayesian analysis looks at distribution of selection histories.
• Bayesian analysis allows “soft” (probabilistic) choices of selection histories.
• We can compute prevalence of selection on individual branches and clades that considers uncertainty of selection histories.
Why Baysian Model Selection?

Two evolutionary modes:
Selected
Non-selected
Parameters describing the switching process:
b,G : probability that gene gains positive selection on
branch b
b,L : probability that gene loses positive selection on
branch b
Bayesian Switching Model
10
X =(X1, …XN) be the alignment data, with Xi alignment of ith gene
Z=(Z1,…,ZN) be the set of selection histories, with Zi denoting history of ith gene.
is set of switching parameters
Assume independence of genes X and histories Z, and conditional independence X and given Z. Thus,

Gibbs sampling
Variables Z and are unobserved. We sample from the joint posterior distribution
by a Gibbs sampler that alternates between samplingeach Zi conditional on Xi and previously sampled and sampling conditional on a previously sampled Z.

Inferred Rates of Gain and Loss

16
Episodic selection on the mammalian tree
• Most genes appear to have switched between evolutionary modes multiple times.
• Posterior expected number of modes switches 1.6 (0.6 gains, 1.0 loses)
• An expected 95% of PSGs have experienced at least once, 53% at least twice.
• These observations are qualitatively in agreement with Gillespie’s episodic molecular clock.

Complement components C7 and C8B
• Components C7 and C8B encode proteases in the membrane attack complex
• Differences in complement proteases are thought to explain certain differences in immune responses of humans and rodents.
C7: PP=0.98 C8B: PP=0.93
(Puente et al, 2003)

Glycoprotein hormones GGA
• CGA is alpha subunit of
chorionic gonadotropin,
luteinizing hormone,
follicle stimulating, and thyroid
stimulating hormone.
• The alpha subunits of 4 hormones are identical, however,
their beta chains are unique and confer biological specificity.
• Beta subunits CGB1 and CGB2 are thought to have
originated from gene duplication in the common ancestor of
humans and great apes.
PP = 0.82

Summary and Future Work
• Bayesian analysis allows the study of patterns and the episodic nature of positive selection on the mammalian tree.
• Most probable selection histories can be identified for individual genes.
• Ideally, we like to model mode switches in continuous time.
• Compare functions of genes with high and low expected number of switches.
• Is the selection history predictive of function?
