TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
Limitations of Genome Analysis• Functional predictions are PREDICTIONS• Need to follow up all predictions with
experimental work• Each genome sequence is a snapshots of one clone• Genome analysis is not able to identify novel
processes• Annotation needs to be updated• Assembly can be wrong• Some parts of genome may be missed (e.g., low
copy plasmids)
TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
Genome sequences and evolution
• Origin of new gene function• Gene loss• Genome degradation• Gene and genome duplication• Rates and patterns of mutation,
recombination• Gene transfer• Species evolution

TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
Why Identify Gene Loss
• Indicates that gene is not absolutely required for survival
• Parallel loss of same gene in different species may indicate selective advantage of loss of that gene
• Correlated loss of genes in a pathway indicates a conserved association among those genes (important for phylogenetic profiles)
• Loss in organellar genomes frequently accompanied by gain in nuclear genome

• Surprising loss of some genes– UvrABCD– RecA– Very different than many pathogens (frequently

Evolution and Complete Genomes II:Gene and Genome Duplication
TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
Why Duplications Are Useful to Identify
• Allows division into orthologs and paralogs
• Improves functional predictions
• Helps identify mechanisms of duplication
• Can be used to study mutation processes in different parts of a genome
• Lineage specific duplications may be indicative of species’ specific adaptations

TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
Why are Inversions Symmetrical Around Origin
• Genetic studies in Salmonella and E. coli suggest that there may be strong selection against other inversions

Evolution and Complete Genomes IV:Gene Transfer
TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
Examples of Horizontal Transfers
• Antibiotic and toxin resistance genes on plasmids
• Pathogenicity islands
• Agrobacterium Ti plasmid
• Viruses
• Organelle to nucleus transfers
TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
Why Gene Transfers Are Useful to Identify
• Laterally transferred genes frequently involved in environmental adaptations and/or pathogenicity
• Helps identify transposons, integrons, and other vectors of gene transfer
• Helps identify species associations in the environment

Most ‘Evidence’ for Gene Transfer has Alternative Explanations
TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
How to Infer Gene Transfers
• Unusual distribution patterns
• Unusual nucleotide composition
• High sequence similarity to supposedly distantly related species
• Unusual gene trees
• Observe transfer events

TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
Lander et al. ‘Evidence’
• Genes match bacteria not non-vertebrate eukaryotes
• Or, genes have stronger match to bacteria than non-vertebrates
• A set of ~120 of these genes found in many bacterial species
TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
Alternative explanations
• Gene loss from non-vertebrate eukaryotes
• Rapid divergence in non-vertebrate eukaryotes
• Incomplete genomes (e.g., D. melanogaster)
• Bad annotation/gene finding
• Contamination

Birney et al, same issue of Nature as complete genome
“The unfinished human genomic DNA may contain contamination, particularly from bacteria but also from other sources. Contaminating DNA is routinely removed from finished sequence, but some is still present in unfinished sequence. If the predicted gene matches a bacterial gene more closely than any vertebrate gene then it will almost always be a contaminant.”

Wither Genomics? Not yet.
• Despite limitations, a great deal can still be learned from genome sequence analysis.
TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
Evolutionary Diversity Still Poorly Represented in Complete Genomes
TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
Limited Ecological and Physiological Diversity
• All genomes from cultured species or pathogens/symbionts
• Limited ecological diversity– most are from pathogens or thermophiles
• Limited physiological diversity– need whole range for particular physiologies,
not just extremes
TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
Why Completeness is Important
• Improves characterization of genome features– Gene order, replication origins
• Better comparative genomics– Genome duplications, inversions
• Presence and absence of particular genes can be very important (e.g., gene loss)
• Missing sequence might be important (e.g., centromere)
• Allows researchers to focus on biology not sequencing• Facilitates large scale correlation studies

Evolutionary Studies Improve Most Aspects of Genome Analysis• Phylogeny of species places comparative data in perspective• Evolution of genes and gene families
– Functional predictions– Identification of orthologs and paralogs– Species specific mutation patterns
• Evolution of pathways– Convergence– Prediction of function
• Evolution of gene order/genome rearrangements• Phylogenetic distribution patterns• Identification of novel features
TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
Genome Information and Analysis Improves Studies of Evolution
• Complete genome information particularly useful
• Unbiased sampling
• More sequences of genes
• Presence/absence information needed to infer certain events (e.g., gene loss, duplication)
• Genome wide mutation and substitution patterns (e.g., strand bias)
• Diversification and duplication
TIGRTIGRTIGRTIGR
Tracing Gene Loss
• Need presence and absence information of orthologous genes from different species
• Determining absence requires a complete genome
• May still miss some homologs (e.g., due to rapid divergence)
• Helps to have closely related species
• Use standard character state reconstruction methods to infer gene gain and loss
