    Physico-chemical properties of DNA in phylogeny construction
    (2010) Bakış, Yasin; Sezerman, Osman Uğur; Otu, Hasan H.
    Phylogenic analysis relies on alignment of related sequences from different species to obtain the distances between these species. The quality of the alignment and the distance measure would depend on the alignment parameters that are used. In this work, we propose to use Relative Complexity Measure (RCM) to find the distances between the sequences which is not a parameter dependent measure. We used DNA sequences from Candida species and phylogenetic trees were obtained using un-weighted pair-group with arithmetic mean method. We used three reduced alphabets for the DNA sequences which were clustered by taking into account different physicochemical properties of DNA. RCM gives as good results as the distance determination method and among the physicochemical properties, Keto/Amino grouping is found to give the most accurate tree which is topological closest to the desired phylogeny. ©2009 IEEE.

    Testing robustness of relative complexity measure method constructing robust phylogenetic trees for Galanthus L. Using the relative complexity measure
    (BMC, 2013) Bakış, Yasin; Otu, Hasan H.; Taşçı, Nivart; Meydan, Cem; Bilgin, Neş'e
    Background: Most phylogeny analysis methods based on molecular sequences use multiple alignment where the quality of the alignment, which is dependent on the alignment parameters, determines the accuracy of the resulting trees. Different parameter combinations chosen for the multiple alignment may result in different phylogenies. A new non-alignment based approach, Relative Complexity Measure (RCM), has been introduced to tackle this problem and proven to work in fungi and mitochondrial DNA. Result: In this work, we present an application of the RCM method to reconstruct robust phylogenetic trees using sequence data for genus Galanthus obtained from different regions in Turkey. Phylogenies have been analyzed using nuclear and chloroplast DNA sequences. Results showed that, the tree obtained from nuclear ribosomal RNA gene sequences was more robust, while the tree obtained from the chloroplast DNA showed a higher degree of variation. Conclusions: Phylogenies generated by Relative Complexity Measure were found to be robust and results of RCM were more reliable than the compared techniques. Particularly, to overcome MSA-based problems, RCM seems to be a reasonable way and a good alternative to MSA-based phylogenetic analysis. We believe our method will become a mainstream phylogeny construction method especially for the highly variable sequence families where the accuracy of the MSA heavily depends on the alignment parameters.
