The following recurrence equation holds for any t:

pA(t + 1) = (1 - 3) pA(t) + [1 - pA(t)]


Rewriting this equation in terms of the amount of change:

pA(t + 1) - pA(t) = (1 - 3) pA(t) + [1 - pA(t)] - pA(t)

pA(t) = - 3pA(t) + [1 - pA(t)]

Rewriting this equation for a continuous time model:

= - 4pA(t) + d pA(t)d t


Rewriting this equation for a continuous time model:

= - 4pA(t) + d pA(t)

d t


pA(t) = ¼ + pA(0) - ¼ e -4t

The solution is given by:

Since we started with A, pA(0) = 1


An if we start with non A, pA(0) = 0

pA(t) = ¼ + 1 - ¼ e -4t = ¼ + ¾ e -4t

pA(t) = ¼ + 0 - ¼ e -4t = ¼ - ¼ e -4t

The probability of initially having A, and still having A at time t is:


The probability of initially having G, and then having A at time t is:

pAA(t) = ¼ + ¾ e -4t

pGA(t) = ¼ - ¼ e -4t

We can write the equations in a more explicit form:

And since all nucleotides are equivalent under the JC model, pGA(t) = pCA(t) = pTA(t).


pii(t) = ¼ + ¾ e -4t

pij(t) = ¼ - ¼ e -4t

where i j

pA(t)

For instance, pA(t) can also be interpreted as the frequency of A in a DNA sequence. For example, if we start with a sequence made of A‘s only, then pA(0) = 1, and pA(t) is the expected frequency of A in the sequence at time t.

For protein coding sequences not all sites have the same probability of change (there is among site rate variation). If this effect is not taken into account, the number of substitutions per site between two sequences can be underestimated (Li and Graur, 1991).

Estimating the number of nucleotide substitutions under the Jukes and Cantor’s One-Parameter Model

As we have seen, the expected proportion of identical nucleotides between two sequences that diverged t time units ago is given by:

I(t) = ¼ + ¾ e -8t


And the probability that the two sequences are different at a site at time t is:

I(t) = ¼ + ¾ e -8t

p = 1 - I(t)


Doing some algebra:

p = 1 - (¼ + ¾ e -8t)

p = ¾ (1 - e -8t)

8t = - ln (1 - 4p/3)

p = 1 - I(t)

And since in the JC model K = 2(3t) between two sequences:

K = - (¾) ln (1 - (4/3)p)

where:

And P and Q are the proportions of transitional and transversional differences between the two sequences

Distance Matrix

In order for a distance measure to be used to build phylogenies it must satisfy some basic requeriments

It must be metric

It must be additive

Metric distances

A distance is metric if:

1 d (a,b) 0 (non-negativity)

a sequence

b sequence

d (a,b)

2 d (a,b) = d (b,a) (symetry)

3 d (a,c) d (a,b) + d (b,c) (triangle inequality)4 d (a,b) = 0 if and only if a = b (distinctiness)

Ultrametric distances
