6 Finding molecular variation Richard Lewontin and Jack Hubby s 1966 paper on protein variation (using gel electrophoresis) found many loci to show variation at the molecular level. It was not obvious that this variation affected fitness. Lewontin pointed out that this neutral mutation might account for much of the molecular variation within populations. Evolutionary trees and population genetics: a family reunion p.6/44

7 The neutral mutation theory Motō Kimura with his family in Mishima, Japan in the 1960s. The greatest theoretical population geneticist of the late 1900s, he was the chief advocate for the neutral mutation theory and worked out many of its consequences. Evolutionary trees and population genetics: a family reunion p.7/44

8 Lots of variation at the DNA level Marty Kreitman, as a student of Lewontin s in the early 1980s, used early sequencing methods to look for variation in DNA sequences. Result: you are heterozygous about every 1500 nucleotides. Evolutionary trees and population genetics: a family reunion p.8/44

9 A typical locus showing SNP variation (From Debbie Nickerson s SeattleSNPs project). Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) at the Matrix Metalloproteinase 3 locus. Evolutionary trees and population genetics: a family reunion p.9/44

10 Molecular evolution (1963 on) Linus Pauling in 1963 Emile Zuckerkandl, more recently Evolutionary trees and population genetics: a family reunion p.10/44

11 Molecular evolution and phylogeny methods Population genetics Sokal Systematics Cavalli Sforza Edwards, me Numerical phylogenies (Sneath) Farris Molecular evolution Fitch Dayhoff (Sankoff) Wilson Goodman Biochemistry (and molecular biology) People who pioneered in phylogeny methods and the analysis of molecular evolution data with them. Evolutionary trees and population genetics: a family reunion p.11/44

12 An example: who is most closely related to whales? from Amrine-Madsen, H. et al., 2003, Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution Evolutionary trees and population genetics: a family reunion p.12/44

13 Molecular phylogenies Some examples of other important conclusions from molecular phylogenies: Using immunological distances, Morris Goodman (1962 on) and later Wilson and Sarich (1966) show that humans, gorilla, and chimps were a clade. Wilson and Sarich (in that work, 1967) date the divergence of humans to 5 million years. Charles Sibley and Jon Ahlquist (1984) use DNA hybridization to argue for the clade humans-chimps. Carl Woese (1978) uses rrna trees to introduce evolution into microbiology, argue for the domain Archaea. Much progress on early radiation of angiosperms Protostome-deuterostome tree of metazoans (more or less) replaced by deuterostome-lophotrichozoa-ecdysozoa tree. Fungi closer to animals than either is to plants. Symbiotic origin of mitochondria and of chloroplasts verified. Amphioxus diverged before split of tunicates from craniate chordates. Lots of horizontal gene transfer in prokaryotes, almost not a tree. Evolutionary trees and population genetics: a family reunion p.13/44

55 Thousands of SNPs? SNPs will help integrate the statistical variation within populations, between populations, and between species. They will also allow us to connect QTL statistical genetics with morphological phylogenies Still, there will be a lot of statistics to do to correct for false positives.
