    Abstract Background: Single cell whole genome tumor sequencing can yield novel insights into the evolutionary history of somatic copy number alterations. Existing single cell copy number calling methods do not explicitly model the shared evolutionary process of multiple cells, and generally analyze cells independently. Additionally, existing methods for estimating tumor cell phylogenies using copy number profiles are sensitive to profile estimation errors.
    Results: We present SCONCE2, a method for jointly calling copy number alterations and estimating pairwise distances for single cell sequencing data. Using simulations, we show that SCONCE2 has higher accuracy in copy number calling and phylogeny estimation than competing methods. We apply SCONCE2 to previously published single cell sequencing data to illustrate the utility of the method.
    Conclusions: SCONCE2 jointly estimates copy number profiles and a distance metric for inferring tumor phylogenies in single cell whole genome tumor sequencing across multiple cells, enabling deeper understandings of tumor evolution.

    Abstract The multi-species coalescent (MSC) provides a theoretical foundation for modern phylogenetics and comparative population genetics. Its theoretical properties have been heavily studied but there are still aspects of the MSC that are largely unknown, including the covariances in pairwise coalescence times, which are fundamental for understanding the properties of statistics that combine data from multiple species, such as the fixation index (

    Abstract Motivation: Copy number alterations (CNAs) are a significant driver in cancer growth and development, but remain poorly characterized on the single cell level. Although genome evolution in cancer cells is Markovian through evolutionary time, CNAs are not Markovian along the genome. However, existing methods call copy number profiles with Hidden Markov Models or change point detection algorithms based on changes in observed read depth, corrected by genome content and do not account for the stochastic evolutionary process.
    Results: We present a theoretical framework to use tumor evolutionary history to accurately call CNAs in a principled manner. To model the tumor evolutionary process and account for technical noise from low coverage single-cell whole genome sequencing data, we developed SCONCE, a method based on a Hidden Markov Model to analyze read depth data from tumor cells using matched normal cells as negative controls. Using a combination of public data sets and simulations, we show SCONCE accurately decodes copy number profiles, and provides a useful tool for understanding tumor evolution.
    Availabilityand implementation: SCONCE is implemented in C++11 and is freely available from https://github.com/NielsenBerkeleyLab/sconce.

    Abstract Inbred populations often suffer from increased mutational load and reduced fitness due to lower efficacy of purifying selection in groups with small effective population sizes. Genetic rescue (GR) is a conservation tool that is studied and deployed with the aim of increasing the fitness of such inbred populations by assisted migration of individuals from closely related outbred populations. The success of GR depends on several factors--such as their demographic history and distribution of dominance effects of mutations--that may vary across populations. While we understand the impact of these factors on the dynamics of GR, their impact on local adaptations remains unclear. To this end, we conduct a population genetics simulation study to evaluate the impact of trait complexity (Mendelian vs. polygenic), dominance effects, and demographic history on the efficacy of GR. We find that the impact on local adaptations depends highly on the mutational load at the time of GR, which is in turn shaped dynamically by interactions between demographic history and dominance effects of deleterious variation. Over time local adaptations are generally restored post-GR, though in the short term they are often compromised in the process of purging deleterious variation. We also show that while local adaptations are almost always fully restored, the degree to which ancestral genetic variation affecting the trait is replaced by donor variation can vary drastically and is especially high for complex traits. Our results provide insights on the impact of GR on trait evolution and considerations for the practical implementation of GR.

    Abstract In this paper, we discuss an upstream-downstream externality related to water quality (the level of ammonia) in a river by distinguishing between a non-cooperative and cooperative case. As empirical case, we use the Porong River, which is located in the East Java province of Indonesia. In this river, aquaculture farmers are located downstream while the industrial firms are placed upstream. In both the non-cooperative and cooperative case, we find that the optimal profit by a polyculture is higher than the optimal profit for an industrial firm, and this result is robust to variations in relevant parameter values. Furthermore, by comparing the non-cooperative and cooperative cases, we find that the optimal gain of moving to joint management is reasonably high, and when varying relevant parameter values, this gain remains almost unchanged.

    Abstract Motivation: Clustering is a fundamental task in the analysis of nucleotide sequences. Despite the exponential increase in the size of sequence databases of homologous genes, few methods exist to cluster divergent sequences. Traditional clustering methods have mostly focused on optimizing high speed clustering of highly similar sequences. We develop a phylogenetic clustering method which infers ancestral sequences for a set of initial clusters and then uses a greedy algorithm to cluster sequences.
    Results: We describe a clustering program AncestralClust, which is developed for clustering divergent sequences. We compare this method with other state-of-the-art clustering methods using datasets of homologous sequences from different species. We show that, in divergent datasets, AncestralClust has higher accuracy and more even cluster sizes than current popular methods.
    Availability and implementation: AncestralClust is an Open Source program available at https://github.com/lpipes/ancestralclust.
