  1. Genome evolution Lecture 6: Inference through sampling. Basic phylogenetics

  2. The paradigm Phylogenetics Detecting selection and function Alignment Evolutionary rates Tree Ancestral Inference on a phylogenetic tree Learning a model

  3. Rates and transition probabilities The process’s rate matrix: Transitions differential equations (backward form):

  4. Summing over different path lengths: 1-path 2-path 3-path 4-path 5-path Matrix exponential The differential equation: Series solution:

  5. Computing the matrix exponential using spectral decomposition The eigenvalues determine the process convergence properties The largest eigenvalue must be 1 and it associated eigenvector is the stationary distribution of the process. the second largest dominates the convergence of the process

  6. Computing the matrix exponential Series methods: just take the first k summands reasonable when ||A||<=1 if the terms are converging, you are ok can do scaling/squaring: Eigenvalues/decomposition: good when the matrix is symmetric problems when having similar eigenvalues Multiple methods with other types of B (e.g., triangular)

  7. Models for nucleotide substitutions How to model the evolution of a nucleotide? We discussed its potential allele frequency dynamics and fixation probability The rate of substitution in a neutral locus: A beneficial mutation with s>0: But mutations can happen at different rates for different nucleotides. The two simplest models describing substitution rates are dated from the 60’s when sequence data was very scarce – we will discuss more sophisticated models later: Once we assume the evolutionary duration, we can work with probabilities a a G G A A a a b b T a b paXi Xi C T C T a a Kimura Jukes-Kantor

  8. H2 S3 H1 S2 S1 The simple tree model Structure Sequences of extant and ancestral species are random variables, with Val(X) = {A,C,G,T} Extant Species Sj1,., Ancestral species Hj1,..(n-1) Tree T:Parents relation pa Si , pa Hi (pa S1 = H1 ,pa S3 = H2 ,The root: H2) Joint distribution The model is defined using conditional probability distributions and the root “prior” probability distribution In the triplet: The model parameters can be the conditional probability distribution tables (CPDs) For multiple loci we can assume independence and use the same parameters (today): Or we can have a single rate matrix Q and branch lengths:

  9. Ancestral inference We assume the model (structure, parameters) is given, and denote it by q: Alignment Evolutionary rates Tree Ancestral Inference on a phylogenetic tree The Total probability of the data s: Learning a model This is also called the likelihood L(q). Computing Pr(s) is the inference problem Easy! Given the total probability it is easy to compute: Exponential? Total probability of the data Posterior of hi given the data Marginalization over hi

  10. Tree models ? Given partial observations s: A ? C A The Total probability of the data: Uniform prior

  11. up[5] up[4] Dynamic programming to compute the total probability ? Felsentstein S3 ? S2 S1 Algorithm (Following Felsenstein 1981): Up(i): if(extant) { up[i][a] = (a==Si ? 1: 0); return} up(r(i)), up(l(i)) iter on a up[i][a] = Sb,c Pr(Xl(i)=b|Xi=a) up[l(i)][b] Pr(Xr(i)=c|Xi=a) up[r(i)][c] Down(i): down[i][a]= Sb,c Pr(Xsib(i)=b|Xpar(i)=c) up[sib(i)][b] Pr(Xi=a|Xpar(i)=c) down[par(i)][c] down(r(i)), down(l(i)) Algorithm: up(root); LL = 0; foreach a { L += log(Pr(root=a)up[root][a]) down[root][a]=Pr(root=a) } down(r(root)); down(l(root));

  12. down5] up[3] down[4] Computing marginals and posteriors ? Felsentstein S3 ? S2 S1 Algorithm (Following Felsenstein 1981): Up(i): if(extant) { up[i][a] = (a==Si ? 1: 0); return} up(r(i)), up(l(i)) iter on a up[i][a] = Sb,c Pr(Xl(i)=b|Xi=a) up[l(i)][b] Pr(Xr(i)=c|Xi=a) up[r(i)][c] Down(i): down[i][a]= Sb,c Pr(Xsib(i)=b|Xpar(i)=c) up[sib(i)][b] Pr(Xi=a|Xpar(i)=c) down[par(i)][c] down(r(i)), down(l(i)) Algorithm: up(root); LL = 0; foreach a { L += log(Pr(root=a)up[root][a]) down[root][a]=Pr(root=a) } down(r(root)); down(l(root)); P(hi|s) = up[i][c]*down[i][c]/ (Sjup[i][j]down[i][j])

  14. With undirected cycles, the model is well defined but inference becomes hard 7 8 9 1 4 2 5 3 6 Practical inference can be hard What makes these examples difficult? We want to perform inference in an extended tree model q expressing context effects: 1 2 3 We want to perform inference on the tree structure itself! Each structure impose a probability on the observed data, so we can perform inference on the space of all possible tree structures, or tree structures + branch lengths q

  20. The Dirichlet distribution Prior parameterization: Dirichlet Multinomial distribution (e.g., A,C,G,T) Quantify your belief as “virtual evidence” And given new evidence: It make sense that: Which prior to use: Claim: Using the Dirichlet as prior,

  22. Variable rates: gamma priors Slow Fast

  23. Symmetric and reversible Markov processes Definition: we call a Markov process symmetric if its rate matrix is symmetric: What would a symmetric process converge to? Definition: A reversible Markov process is one for which: Time: t  s i j j i qji Claim: A Markov process is reversible iff such that: pi pj If this holds, we say the process is in detailed balance and the p are its stationary distribution. qij Proof: Bayes law and the definition of reversibility

  24. Q,t’ Q,t Q,t’ Q,t Q,t+t’ Reversibility qji Claim: A Markov process is reversible iff such that: pi pj If this holds, we say the process is in detailed balance. qij Proof: Bayes law and the definition of reversibility Claim: A Markov process is reversible iff we can write: where S is a symmetric matrix.

  25. (Start from anywhere!) Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) We don’t know how to sample from P(h)=P(h|s) (or any complex distribution for that matter) The idea: think of P(h|s) as the stationary distribution of a Reversible Markov chain Find a process with transition probabilities for which: Process must be irreducible (you can reach from anywhere to anywhere with p>0) Then sample a trajectory Theorem: (C a counter)

  26. The Metropolis(-Hastings) Algorithm Why reversible? Because detailed balance makes it easy to define the stationary distribution in terms of the transitions So how can we find appropriate transition probabilities? We want: Define a proposal distribution: And acceptance probability: F x y What is the big deal? we reduce the problem to computing ratios between P(x) and P(y)

  27. Acceptance ratio for a BN To sample from: We will only have to compute: For example, if the proposal distribution changes only one variable hi what would be the ratio? We affected only the CPDs of hi and its children Definition: the minimal Markov blanket of a node in BN include its children, Parents and Children’s parents. To compute the ratio, we care only about the values of hi and its Markov Blanket

  28. Gibbs sampling A very similar (in fact, special case of the metropolis algorithm): Start from any state h do { Chose a variable Hi Form ht+1 by sampling a new hi from } This is a reversible process with our target stationary distribution: Gibbs sampling is easy to implement for BNs:

  29. A problematic space would be loosely connected: Examples for bad spaces Sampling in practice We sample while fixing the evidence. Starting from anywere but waiting some time before starting to collect data How much time until convergence to P? (Burn-in time) Mixing Sample Burn in Consecutive samples are still correlated! Should we sample only every n-steps?

  30. Inferring/learning phylogenetic trees Distance based methods: computing pairwise distances and building a tree based only on those (how would you implement this?) More elaborated methods use a scoring scheme that take the whole tree into account, using Parsimony or likelihood Likelihood methods: universal rate matrices (BLOSSOM62, PAM) Searching for the optimal tree (min parsimony or max likelihood) is NP hard Many search heuristics were developed, finding a high quality solution and repeating computation using partial dataset to test for the robustness of particular features (Bootstrap) Bayesian inference methods – assuming some prior on trees (e.g. uniform) and trying to sample trees from the probability space P(q|D). Using MCMC, we only need a proposal distribution that span all possible trees and a way to compute the likelihood ratio between two trees (polynomial for the simple tree model) From sampling we can extract any desirable parameter on the tree (number of time X,Y and Z are in the same clade)

  32. How much DNA? (Following M. Lynch) Viral particles in the oceans: 1030 times 104 bases = 1034 Global number of prokaryotic cells: 1030 times 3x106 bases = 1036 107 eukaryotic species (~1.6 million were characterized) One may assume that they each occupy the same biomass, For human, 6x109 (population) times 6x109 (genome) times 1013 (cells) = 1032 Assuming average eukaryotic genome size is 1% of the human, we have 1037bases

  40. Inference by forward sampling • We did not cover these slides this year

  41. 7 8 9 4 5 6 Sampling from a BN How to sample from the CPD? Naively: If we could draw h,s’ according to the distribution Pr(h,s’) then: Pr(s) ~ (#samples with s)/(# samples) Forward sampling: use a topological order on the network. Select a node whose parents are already determined sample from its conditional distribution (all parents already determined!) Claim: Forward sampling is correct: 1 2 3

  42. Why don’t we constraint the sampling to fit the evidence s? 1 2 3 7 8 9 4 5 6 Focus on the observations What is the sampling error? Two tasks: P(s) and P(f(h)|s), how to approach each/both? Naïve sampling is terribly inefficient, why? This can be done, but we no longer sample from P(h,s), and not from P(h|s) (why?)

  43. 7 8 9 Likelihood weighting • Likelihood weighting: • weight = 1 • use a topological order on the network. • Select a node whose parents are already determined • if the variable was not observed: sample from its conditional distribution • else: weight *= P(xi|paxi), and fix the observation • Store the sample x and its weight w[x] • Pr(h|s) = (total weights of samples with h) / (total weights) Weight=

  44. Importance sampling Our estimator from M samples is: But it can be difficult or inefficient to sample from P. Assume we sample instead from Q, then: Prove it! Unnormalized Importance sampling: Claim: To minimize the variance, use a Q distribution is proportional to the target function:

  45. Correctness of likelihood weighting: Importance sampling For the likelihood waiting algorithm, our proposal distribution Q is defined by fixing the evidence at the nodes in a set E and ignoring the CPDs of variable with evidence. We sample from Q just like forward sampling from a Bayesian network that eliminated all edges going into evidence nodes! Unnormalized Importance sampling with the likelihood weighting proposal distribution Q and any function on the hidden variables: Proposition: the likelihood weighting algorithm is correct (in the sense that it define an estimator with the correct expected value)

  46. Sample: Normalized Importance sampling: Normalized Importance sampling When sampling from P(h|s) we don’t know P, so cannot compute w=P/Q We do know P(h,s)=P(h|s)P(s)=P(h|s)a=P’(h) So we will use sampling to estimate both terms: Using the likelihood weighting Q, we can compute posterior probabilities in one pass (no need to sample P(s) and P(h,s) separately):

  47. Limitations of forward sampling observed Likelihood weighting is effective here: unobserved But not here:
