Comparison of Phylogenetic Tree Topologies for Nitrogen Associated Genes Partially Reconstruct the Evolutionary History of Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

ABSTRACT: Massive sequencing projects executed in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have revealed in detail its population structure. The recent "1002 yeast genomes project" has become the most complete catalogue of yeast genetic diversity and a powerful resource to analyse the evolutionary history of genes affecting specific phenotypes. In this work, we selected 22 nitrogen associated genes and analysed the sequence information from the 1011 strains of the "1002 yeast genomes project". We constructed a total evidence (TE) phylogenetic tree using concatenated information, which showed a 27% topology similarity with the reference (REF) tree of the "1002 yeast genomes project". We also generated individual phylogenetic trees for each gene and compared their topologies, identifying genes with similar topologies
