#bg2011 Shouldn't that be "favors strong alleles?" Anyway...
2011-05-13 10:08:58#bg2011 RK: Need a model to disentangle gBGC and selection
2011-05-13 10:09:20#bg2011 RK: Model from Nagylaki 1983
2011-05-13 10:10:09#bg2011 RK: Two parameters: S for selection (neg or pos); B for bias (W or S)
2011-05-13 10:10:39#bg2011 And now some equations.
2011-05-13 10:11:10#bg2011 RK: gBGC favors W->S even under negative selection
2011-05-13 10:11:54“@leonidkruglyak: Indeed MT @dgmacarthur: If you want to study evolution, do it in yeast. #bg2011”
2011-05-13 10:12:17#bg2011 RK: 4 alignment models: 1. null 2. gBGC 3. acceleration (selection only) 4. Acceleration and gBGC. Compare likelihoods of these
2011-05-13 10:13:00#bg2011 RK: Analyzing 202 HARs: most fall in selection classes--most with positive selection. Also some where gBGC is most likely
2011-05-13 10:15:19Kostka models gBGC & selection together & looks for accelerated regions which cant be accounted for by gBGC under likelihood model #BG2011
2011-05-13 10:15:59Kostka 118/202 HARs are likely true positive selection. #BG2011
2011-05-13 10:16:58#bg2011 RK: Use this to prioritize follow-up experiments on HARs. Adam Siepel's lab will add gBGC detection into models of codon evolution
2011-05-13 10:17:32#bg2011 RK: Available in rphast (http://compgen.bscb.cornell.edu/phast/)
2011-05-13 10:18:06DK: human accelerated regions; ~200 analyzed; many with positive selection #bg2011
2011-05-13 10:18:26tweets from #bg2011 are making me sad to be in AL. But - I feel the need to point out that you CAN study evolution outside a model system!
2011-05-13 10:19:10#bg2011 RK: We've also looked at accelerated regions in yeast and other species but with gBGC.

2011-05-13 10:43:23After a quick break, and much ribbing from @rozowsky, back to Twitter! #bg2011
2011-05-13 10:44:15DS: performed an assay invented by Gregor Mendel... ...they did a cross #bg2011
2011-05-13 10:45:05David Stern: Drosophila speciation #bg2011
2011-05-13 10:46:14Stern: enhancers driving overlapping expression patterns are very common in eukaryotes. #BG2011
2011-05-13 10:47:18Stern: nice example of redundant enhancers offering robustness to environmental variation encountered during development #BG2011
2011-05-13 10:48:12David Stern on phenotypic robustness and morphological evolution in Drosophila. #bg2011
2011-05-13 10:48:18Stern: redundant enhancers are observably epistatic at local level ~400 bp. #BG2011
