- All 13 protein-coding genes combined were subjected to MP analyses (Zardoya and Meyer, 1996).

アライメント困難な領域を除外

Partition 解析
set
We set four, five, and 13 partitions depending on the data sets (Inoue et al. 2009).

・partition, assign
Sequences from protein-coding regions (ND1, ND2, and COI genes: 1155 bp) were partitioned by codon position (3 partitions), whereas tRNA regions (535 bp) were assigned to a fourth partition (Brown and Yang, 2009).


3rd ポジション

この結果は,統計的有為さに悪影響を及ぼす高度の飽和を示している.このため,解析から除外する.
This preliminary result indicates
a high degree of saturation
that severely affected the statistical significance of the estimates (results not shown) and,
thus, we excluded these sites from the analysis (Schrago and Russo, 2003).

3rd を外して解析を行った.
- A third set of MP analyses were performed in which only third-codon-position transisions were excluded.
- Analyses with all phylogenetic methods were also performed, entirely excluding third codon positions in each gene (Zardoya and Meyer, 1996).

飽和しているが,3rd には系統情報が含まれていることがある.
Third codon positions for both mitochondrial genes,
despite obvious potential saturation problems
(Cao et al. 1994),
often contain phylogenetic information, even among distantly related species (Zardoya and Meyer, 1996).



遺伝子別ではなくコドン別に partition を設定する理由
The mitochondrial proteins perform similar functions and are under similar selective constraint, but the 3 codon positions have very different substitution rates because of the strong selective constraint on the protein (see, e.g., Kumar 1996 for rate estimates in vertebrate mitochondrial genes).
We thus partition sites by codon position rather than
by genes (Brown and Yang, 2009).
〜によれば

・ パフォーマンスより配列の得やすさで用いられる遺伝子マーカーは決まっていた (San Mauro et al. 2009).
The favoring of particular genes or genomic regions has reflected the availability of primers, perceived general utility, and the historical legacy of data and alignments that can be expanded,
rather than any special demonstration of their appropriateness for a particular phylogenetic question (Cummings and Meyer, 2005).


〜が有用
・ facilitate
The existence and identification of genome-scale single-copy nuclear markers should facilitate the construction of the tree of life (Li et al. 2007).

系統樹が解けないときの理由

3rd の TV でも,いくらか飽和があるのは明らか.
It was apparent that some degree of saturation also occurred in 3rd-codons TVs (Yamanoue et al. 2009).

分子データが古い分岐に適していない
It seems that
these results strongly indicate that
the particular kind of molecular data utilized is not informative for the time period
during which recent teleosts differentiated from remaining actinopterygians (de Pinna 1996).


分岐した時間が短い
その原因 → サイト間の進化速度が異なるため,分岐した時間が短いため
This is likely doe to
an extensive among -site rate heterogeneity in the rRNA data set and
the narrow window of time in which the three main groups of living amphibians were originated. (Zardoya and Meyer, 2000)

分子データの弱点は,遺伝子ごとの進化速度差異とノイズの蓄積である.分岐した時間が短いとなおさらである (Venkatesh et al. 1999).
- The pitfalls of molecular sequences include
variations in the rate of evolution of different genes and
the large amounts of phylogenetic "noise" that have accumulated from reversible changes over long evolutionary times .
- In the case of gnathostomes, these problems with sequences are further compounded by the fact that there was a rapid radiation of vertebrates during a very short window of time in the Devonian period (Meyer, 1995).


分岐した時間が短い → 系統樹が解けない
- Such a situation can result from speciation events that have occurred sequentially within a short period of time,
these being well represented by a short internal branch length in the ML tree (Miya and Nishida, 1998).
- In light of these results, Zardoya and his colleagues suggested that
the difficulty in finding an unequivocal phylogenetic signal could result from the rapid origin of these sarcopterygian lineages,
not the ability of mtDNA to resolve divergences that occurred this far back in time (Curole and Kocher, 1999)

系統樹が解けない → 分岐した時間が短い.
- The lack of resolution at these nodes likely reflects rapid radiation events in the origin of the corresponding lineages (Carroll, 1988). (Zardoya and Meyer, 2000).
- These tentative molecular phylogenetic results point to the inherent difficulty in resolving relationships among lineages which apparently originated in rapid succession during the Devonian. (Zardoya and Meyer, 1997).
- However, a support for a monophyly of Fereuungulate relative to the Chiroptera/Eulipotyphla clade was fragile, and we suggest that the three branchings among Carnivora, Perissodactyla, Cetartiodactyla and Chiroptera/Eulipotyphla occurred successively in a short time period, estimated to be approximately 77 Myr BP.


Taxon sampling
Taxonomic sampling を密にとれば,結果が明瞭になる
- More extensive taxonomic sampling from these groups should indicate clearly which relationship patterns are the most likely (Miya et al. 2001).
- A denser sampling of not only Agnatha, but also Chondrichthyes, Dipnoi, Amphibia, and Reptilia, may improve the phylogenetic estimate from the mitochondrial proteins by helping methods like ML and parsimony to reconstruct likely ancestral states more reliably. (Cao et al. 1998)

Taxonomic sampling が粗であるから,結果がおかしい .
The unorthodox tree had resulted from the effects of "long-branch attraction" (Hendy and Penny, 1989) owing to insufficient taxonomic sampling (Miya and Nishida, 2000).

taxonomic sampling が偏っている
However, the taxonomic sampling within Arthropoda is extremely biased: 7 of 12 sequenced mtDNAs are from the class Insecta, and 5 of those are from a single order (Diptera) (Lavrov et al. 2000).

Long-branch attraction と粗い taxon sampling
Gene tree estimation may be susceptible to long-branch attraction, particularly with sparse taxon sampling (Jiao etl a. 2011).


Conclusion
核 DNA の新しいマーカーの探索が系統推定に必要.
- Further sequencing of mitochondrial genomes from deliberately chosen teleosts,
along with simultaneous attempts to find new nuclear markers, such as the RAG-1 gene in birds,
will undoubtedly lead to new insights into
the higher-level relationships of teleosts (Miya and Nishida, 2000).

- Future studies on this question will require the collection of nuclear protein coding gene sequence data. (Zardoya and Meyer, 1997)

- Future studies on these questions will need to focus on nuclear protein-coding genes and search for phylogenetically informative insertion/deletion events in both coding and noncoding nuclear regions. (Zardoya et al. 1998)


結びの文章

遺伝子配置変動メカニズムの解明に光を当てる
Study of other distantly related chordates may shed light on the sequence of rearrangements by which echinoderm and vertebrate mitochondrial gene orders have arisen (Lee and Kocher 1995).

パフォーマンスの良い遺伝子配列を多く使った方が,系統解析の精度は増すだろう.
It is likely that
the use of combinations of genes with better performance behavior
will lead to increased accuracy in
phylogenetic reconstruction (Zarody and Meyer, 1996).
