| Abstract | The majority of genes in eukaryotes consist of multiple protein domains that can be independently lost or gained during evolution. This gain and loss of protein domains, through domain duplications, transfers, or losses, has important evolutionary and functional consequences for genes. Yet, most computational methods for studying gene evolution view genes as the basic unit of evolution and assume that evolutionary processes such as duplications and losses act on entire genes, rather than on parts of genes. Specifically, even though it is well understood that domains evolve inside genes and genes inside species, there do not exist any computational frameworks to simultaneously model the evolution of domains, genes, and species and account for their inter-dependency. Here, we develop a three-tree model of domain evolution that explicitly captures the interdependence of domain-, gene-, and species-level evolution. Our model extends the classical phylogenetic reconciliation framework, which infers gene family evolution by comparing gene trees and species tree, by explicitly accounting for domain-level events. The new model decouples domain-level events from gene-level events and provides a much more fine-grained view of gene family and domain family evolution that is easy to interpret. Specifically, we (i) introduce the new three-tree computational framework, (ii) prove that the associated optimization problem is NP-hard, (iii) devise an efficient heuristic solution for the problem, (iv) apply our algorithm to a large dataset of about 4000 domain trees and 7000 gene trees from 12 fly species, and (v) demonstrate the impact of using our new computational framework by comparing the inferred evolutionary histories against those obtained using existing approaches. Our experimental results show that using the new three-tree model has a significant impact on the inference of both domain-level and gene-level events, and on the inference of domain content in ancestral genes and gene content in ancestral species, compared to existing approaches. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
