ParallelEvolCCM: Quantifying Coevolutionary Patterns Among Genomic Features
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Concerted gains and losses of genomic features such as genes and mobile genetic elements can provide key clues into related functional roles and shared evolutionary trajectories. By capturing phylogenetic signals, a coevolutionary model can outperform comparative methods based on shared presence and absence of features. We previously developed the Community Coevolution Model, which represents the gain/loss probability of each feature as a combination of its own intrinsic rate, combined with the joint probabilities of gain and loss with all other features. Originally implemented as an R library, we have now developed an R wrapper that adds parallelization and several options to pre-filter the features to increase the efficiency of comparisons. Here we describe the functionality of ParallelEvolCCM and apply it to a dataset of 1000 genomes of the genus Bifidobacterium. ParallelEvolCCM is released under the MIT license and available at https://github.com/beiko-lab/arete/blob/master/bin/ParallelEvolCCM.R.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
