Abstract

Alignment-independent phylogenetic methods have interesting properties for global phylogenetic reconstructions, particularly with respect to speed and accuracy. Here, we present a novel multimer-based alignment-independent bilinear mathematical modelling (AIBIMM) approach for global 16S rRNA gene phylogenetic analyses. In AIBIMM, jackknife cross-validated principal component analyses (PCA) are used to explain the variance in nucleotide -mer frequency data. We compared AIBIMM with alignment-based distance, maximum-parsimony and maximum-likelihood phylogenetic methods, analysing taxa belonging to the (=82), (=30) and (=7). These analyses indicated an attraction between the and for the traditional methods, with the two taxa and at the root of the tree. AIBIMM, on the other hand, showed that the was tightly clustered, with and within a distinct subgroup of the . The application of AIBIMM was further evaluated, analysing full-length 16S rRNA gene sequences for 2818 taxa representing the prokaryotic domains. We obtained a highly structured description of the prokaryote diversity. Sample-to-model (Si) distances were also determined for taxa included in our work. We determined Si distances for models of the six major subgroups of taxa detected in the global analyses, in addition to nested subgroups within the . The Si-distance evaluation showed a very good separation of the taxa within the models from those outside. We conclude that AIBIMM represents a novel phylogenetic framework suitable for accommodating the current exponential growth of 16S rRNA gene sequences in the public domain.
