Transition: the substitution of a
purine for a purine or a pyrimidine
for a pyrimidine. Symbolized by s.
Transversion: the substitution of a
purine for a pyrimidine or vice
versa. Symbolized by v.

Transition bias refers to the degree by
which the s/v ratio deviates from the
expected 1/2. The observed s/v ratio is
almost always much larger than 1/2.
Transition Bias is Ubiquitous. Why?

vertebrate genes:

I often say that when you can measure what you are speaking
about, and express it in numbers, you know something about it; but
when you cannot measure it, when you cannot express it in
numbers, your knowledge is of a meagre and unsatisfactory kind; it
may be the beginning of knowledge, but you have scarcely in your
thoughts advanced to the state of Science, whatever the matter may
be."

Deacetylases: An enzyme that removes an acetyl group
Histone deacetylases: deacetylate lysyl residues in histones (the half life of an
acetyl group is ~10min). Acetylation removes a positive charge on the lysine amino group and promote nucleosome melting (and gene expression).
Deacetylation tend to decrease or turn off gene expression.

Transversion can erase transitions
Transitions can erase transitions, and transversions can erase transversions.
However, a transversion can erase many transitions occurring before it, and
subsequent transitions cannot erase the transversion:
AACGCTTGACG
AACGCTTAACG
AACGCTTGACG
AACGCTTCACG
AACGCTTGACG
AACGCTTTACG
AACGCTTAACG
AACGCTTGACG
AACGCTTTACG
Although a transition could also erase 2n transversions occurring before it,
this is rare because transversions are in generally much rarer than transitions.
 Transitions tend to be missed in counting much more frequently than
transversions.
Xuhua Xia
Summary
• Selection: Transitions are tolerated more than transversion by
natural selection because
– they are more likely synonymous in protein-coding sequences than
transversions
– they are less likely to disrupt RNA secondary structure than
transversions.
• Mutation: Transitional mutation occurs more frequently than
transversions because
– Misincorporation during DNA replication occur more frequently
between two purines or between two pyrimidines than between a
purine and a pyrimidine
– A purine is more likely to mutate chemically to another purine than to
a pyrimidine (e.g., through spontaneous deamination) . The same for
pyrimidine.
• Bias in counting: Transitions tend to be missed in counting
much more frequently than transversions (which necessitates
the substitution models)

From WHL
Substitution models and phylogenetics
• A substitution model is to model the evolutonary
process so as to correct for multiple hits.
• A phylogenetic reconstruction method implicitly or
explicitly assumes a substitution model.
• A phylogenetic method assuming a wrong
substitution model will typically lead to wrong trees
produced.
• An alignment with an inappropriate substitution
score matrix will typically lead to inaccurate
alignment (e.g., strong transition bias among A
sequences but a substitution score matrix
without strong penalty against transversion) C

Substitution Models
• There are three types of substitution models in molecular
evolution
– Nucleotide-based
– Amino acid-based
– Codon-based
• Substitution models are characterized by two categories of
parameters: the frequency parameters and the rate ratio
parameters, and different models differ by their assumptions
concerning these two categories of parameters.
• Substitution models, substitution score matrix and sequence
alignment.
