Markov models

Models of DNA evolution

A number of different Markov models of DNA sequence evolution have been proposed. These substitution models differ in terms of the parameters used to describe the rates at which one nucleotide replaces another during evolution. These models are frequently used in molecular phylogenetic analyses. In particular, they are used during the calculation of likelihood of a tree (in Bayesian and maximum likelihood approaches to tree estimation) and they are used to estimate the evolutionary distance between sequences from the observed differences between the sequences.

The Evolution of Populations: Natural Selection, Genetic Drift, and Gene Flow

After going through Darwin's work, it's time to get up to speed on our current models of evolution. Much of what Darwin didn't know is now known and understood very well, so we can meticulously go through much of the evidence we see for evolution, as well as some of the ways that it propag

Charles Darwin's Idea: Descent With Modification

Now that we've learned about molecules and cells and the simplest forms of life, we are ready to understand how all of life on earth evolved from a single common ancestor. Given our newfound knowledge about the chromosomal theory of inheritance, combined with the theory of natural selectio

A Level Biology Revision "DNA and Chromosomes"

In this video, we start by looking at how the DNA is arranged in prokaryotes such as bacteria and eukaryotes such as humans. I then describe the structure of chromosomes and explain what is meant by a chromatid. Then I look at homologous chromosomes and explain how these have the same gene

Visualizing DNA in Virtual Reality

We've learned a lot about DNA, but sometimes the representations of DNA that we use to talk about it are not especially accurate. Everyone knows the popular image with the ladder rungs, but let's really get in there and visualize DNA in three dimensions, so that we can rotate the molecule,

Phylogeny and the Tree of Life

Alright, we've learned about how unicellular organisms came to be, how they became multicellular, and then from those how evolution by natural selection produced all the species in the world today. But there are so many! Millions and millions in fact. Which is most closely related to which
