<front><div type="abstract" xml:lang="en"><p>Estimating the rates at which bacterial genomes evolve is critical to understanding major evolutionary and ecological processes such as disease emergence, long-term host–pathogen associations and short-term transmission patterns. The surge in bacterial genomic data sets provides a new opportunity to estimate these rates and reveal the factors that shape bacterial evolutionary dynamics. For many organisms estimates of evolutionary rate display an inverse association with the time-scale over which the data are sampled. However, this relationship remains unexplored in bacteria due to the difficulty in estimating genome-wide evolutionary rates, which are impacted by the extent of temporal structure in the data and the prevalence of recombination. We collected 36 whole genome sequence data sets from 16 species of bacterial pathogens to systematically estimate and compare their evolutionary rates and assess the extent of temporal structure in the absence of recombination. The majority (28/36) of data sets possessed sufficient clock-like structure to robustly estimate evolutionary rates. However, in some species reliable estimates were not possible even with ‘ancient DNA’ data sampled over many centuries, suggesting that they evolve very slowly or that they display extensive rate variation among lineages. The robustly estimated evolutionary rates spanned several orders of magnitude, from approximately 10<sup>−5</sup>
to 10<sup>−8</sup>
nucleotide substitutions per site year<sup>−1</sup>
. This variation was negatively associated with sampling time, with this relationship best described by an exponential decay curve. To avoid potential estimation biases, such time-dependency should be considered when inferring evolutionary time-scales in bacteria.</p>

<abstract><p>Estimating the rates at which bacterial genomes evolve is critical to understanding major evolutionary and ecological processes such as disease emergence, long-term host–pathogen associations and short-term transmission patterns. The surge in bacterial genomic data sets provides a new opportunity to estimate these rates and reveal the factors that shape bacterial evolutionary dynamics. For many organisms estimates of evolutionary rate display an inverse association with the time-scale over which the data are sampled. However, this relationship remains unexplored in bacteria due to the difficulty in estimating genome-wide evolutionary rates, which are impacted by the extent of temporal structure in the data and the prevalence of recombination. We collected 36 whole genome sequence data sets from 16 species of bacterial pathogens to systematically estimate and compare their evolutionary rates and assess the extent of temporal structure in the absence of recombination. The majority (28/36) of data sets possessed sufficient clock-like structure to robustly estimate evolutionary rates. However, in some species reliable estimates were not possible even with ‘ancient DNA’ data sampled over many centuries, suggesting that they evolve very slowly or that they display extensive rate variation among lineages. The robustly estimated evolutionary rates spanned several orders of magnitude, from approximately 10<sup>−5</sup>
to 10<sup>−8</sup>
nucleotide substitutions per site year<sup>−1</sup>
. This variation was negatively associated with sampling time, with this relationship best described by an exponential decay curve. To avoid potential estimation biases, such time-dependency should be considered when inferring evolutionary time-scales in bacteria.</p>

<sec id="s1-2"><title>Impact Statement</title>
<p>Phylogenetic methods can be used to infer the evolutionary time-scale of groups of organisms. In some pathogens it is possible to estimate the time of origin of disease outbreaks or of cross-species transmission events. However, the accuracy of these estimates relies on our understanding of the rate at which genetic change accumulates over time. The recent surge of genomic data presents an unprecedented opportunity to enhance our understanding of microbial evolution, with the potential of improving future inferences of their evolutionary time-scale. We estimated the rate of nucleotide substitution in 36 complete genomes of different bacterial pathogens using a range of computational methods. We find large differences in the rates produced. For example, some bacteria, such as those that cause hospital-derived infections, evolve orders of magnitude more rapidly than those that cause tuberculosis, which undergo extended periods of latency. We also find that the sampling times appear to play an important role in determining their rate. Our results provide the first genomic perspective of bacterial rates of evolution, thereby improving our understanding of the time-scale over which they diversify.</p>
</sec>
<sec sec-type="intro" id="s1-3"><title>Introduction</title>
<p>Estimating the rate of molecular evolution is critical for understanding a variety of evolutionary and epidemiological processes. Rates of molecular evolution are the product of the number of mutations that arise per replication event, the frequency of replication events per unit time and the probability of mutational fixation. These rates are determined by a variety of factors including background mutation rate, the direction and strength of natural selection, generation time and population size. Both generation time and population size have been shown to scale negatively with the substitution rate in a range of organisms (<xref rid="R8" ref-type="bibr">Bromham, 2009</xref>
). For example, because of differences in generation time, spore-forming bacteria evolve more slowly over time than those that do not form spores (<xref rid="R66" ref-type="bibr">Weller & Wu, 2015</xref>
). Similarly, lineages undergoing adaptive evolution are expected to accumulate substitutions more rapidly than those subject to purifying selection (<xref rid="R21" ref-type="bibr">Eyre-Walker & Keightley, 2007</xref>
).</p>
<p>Despite the wealth of sequence data, genome-wide rates of evolutionary change in bacteria are often uncertain. At one end of the spectrum, rates as high as ~10<sup>−5</sup>
nucleotide substitutions per site year<sup>−1</sup>
have been reported for <italic>Neisseria gonorrhoeae</italic>
(<xref rid="R54" ref-type="bibr">Pérez-Losada <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2007</xref>
). In contrast, genome-wide rates of only ~10<sup>−9</sup>
substitutions per site year<sup>−1</sup>
have been observed in <italic>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</italic>
(<xref rid="R9" ref-type="bibr">Comas <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2013</xref>
). Importantly, however, these estimates are not always readily comparable because they use different methods and sources of data. Furthermore, most previous studies have not investigated the degree of temporal structure (i.e. clock-like behaviour) in the data, such that their reliability is uncertain. The increasing availability of genomic data means that it is now possible to estimate substitution rates with sequences collected over a number of years (i.e. tip-date calibration), not only for rapidly evolving pathogens, such as RNA viruses, but also in some DNA viruses and bacteria (<xref rid="R3" ref-type="bibr">Biek <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2015</xref>
). The rates at which bacteria evolve, the strength of clock-like signal in the data and the determinants of any rate differences observed have not been systematically investigated. However, these parameters are of importance both for the accurate interpretation of outbreak investigations that may depend on the reliable estimation of the time-scale of putatively linked transmission cases, and for revealing the long-term time-scales over which bacteria have been associated with specific hosts.</p>
<p>Importantly, estimates of evolutionary rate have been shown to scale negatively with their time-scale of measurement in several organisms (<xref rid="R28" ref-type="bibr">Ho <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2011</xref>
), a pattern that has been attributed to the gradual purging of deleterious mutations over time (<xref rid="R27" ref-type="bibr">Ho & Larson, 2006</xref>
; <xref rid="R53" ref-type="bibr">Penny, 2005</xref>
). In the context of phylogenetic analyses, the time-scale of measurement corresponds to the age of the calibration or the sampling time-frame (<xref rid="R17" ref-type="bibr">Duchêne <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2014</xref>
; <xref rid="R46" ref-type="bibr">Molak & Ho, 2015</xref>
). In viruses, natural selection, mutational saturation and substitution model inadequacy have also been shown to contribute to this pattern (<xref rid="R17" ref-type="bibr">Duchêne <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2014</xref>
, <xref rid="R18" ref-type="bibr">2015a</xref>
; <xref rid="R29" ref-type="bibr">Ho <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2015a</xref>
). However, the phenomenon of time-dependency of rate estimates remains largely unexplored in bacterial genomes, although there is some empirical evidence that it may also hold in these organisms (<xref rid="R9" ref-type="bibr">Comas <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2013</xref>
).</p>
<p>To provide a comprehensive picture of genomic-scale evolutionary rates in bacteria and their temporal dynamics, particularly the extent of time-dependency in the data, we analysed, using a variety of phylogenetic methods, 36 publically available whole genome SNP data sets from bacterial pathogens associated with human disease sampled over periods extending over 2000 years.</p>

), and one unpublished data set of <italic>Salmonella enterica</italic>
serovar Kentucky (Table S1). The <italic>Salmonella enterica</italic>
serovar Kentucky data set comprised 88 strains isolated between 1937 and 2012 (<xref rid="R40" ref-type="bibr">Le Hello <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2013</xref>
). Whole genome sequencing was performed at GATC Biotech (Germany) using an Illumina HiSeq system and analysed as described previously (<xref rid="R34" ref-type="bibr">Holt <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2013</xref>
). Although sequence reads for most other data sets are publically available in the NCBI Short Read Archive (SRA), we obtained the original alignments from the authors wherever possible. With this approach we take advantage of domain knowledge of the original studies for choice of reference sequence and identification of repetitive or horizontally transferred sequences, which are important for the accurate generation of SNP alignments. We removed outgroup taxa and samples that were distantly related to the majority of sequences to limit our analyses to the taxonomic group of interest and to minimize the artificial inflation of among-lineage rate variation due to the presence of very long branches in the phylogenetic trees. For the <italic>Neisseria meningitidis</italic>
and <italic>M. tuberculosis</italic>
Lineages 2 and 4 data sets we obtained sequence reads from the Short Read Archive and called SNPs using the RedDog pipeline [as described previously (<xref rid="R60" ref-type="bibr">Schultz <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2016</xref>
); available at <ext-link ext-link-type="uri" xlink:href="https://github.com/katholt/RedDog">https://github.com/katholt/RedDog</ext-link>
].</p>
<p>SNPs can be introduced into bacterial genomes individually via mutations or in clusters by recombination, a process that may bias demographic inferences and rate estimates (<xref rid="R26" ref-type="bibr">Hedge & Wilson, 2014</xref>
; <xref rid="R39" ref-type="bibr">Lapierre <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2016</xref>
). In particular, ignoring recombination can lead to incorrect estimates of branch lengths, which in turn results in an apparently over-dispersed molecular clock, precluding accurate estimates of evolutionary rates and time-scales. In some cases, removing sites with evidence of recombination can alleviate this problem (see Fig. S1). Thus, we removed all genomic regions with evidence of recombination using Gubbins v1.4.2 (<xref rid="R11" ref-type="bibr">Croucher <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2014</xref>
), and verified these results using RDP4 (<xref rid="R43" ref-type="bibr">Martin <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2015</xref>

Our final data set comprised 16 bacterial species from 13 genera, with genome sizes ranging from 1.4 Mbp (<italic>Streptococcus pyogenes</italic>

<p>We estimated ML trees using PhyML v3.1 (<xref rid="R25" ref-type="bibr">Guindon <italic>et al.</italic>

), employing the GTR+Γ substitution model with four categories for the Γ distribution of among-site rate heterogeneity and sub-tree pruning regrafting branch-swapping. We did not consider the proportion of invariable sites in the substitution model because the data sets comprised SNPs only, such that all sites are variable. The branch lengths in the ML trees are the expected number of nucleotide substitutions per site; as we are working with SNP alignments, this corresponds to the expected number of substitutions per variable site. To convert the branch lengths into genome-wide distances, we multiplied them by the length of the SNP alignment, and divided them by the core genome length that reflects the size of the genome in which SNPs were called (this information was extracted from the original publications). We fitted regressions for the root-to-tip distance as a function of sampling time using <sc>nelsi</sc>

<p>We estimated rates of evolutionary change using a Bayesian Markov chain Monte Carlo method implemented in <sc>beast</sc>
v1.8 (<xref rid="R16" ref-type="bibr">Drummond <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2012</xref>
), with a chain length of 10<sup>8</sup>
steps, sampling every 5000 steps. If the effective sample size of any of the parameters was less than 200, we increased the chain length by 50 % and reduced the sampling frequency accordingly. For all data sets we used the GTR+Γ substitution model and the sampling times (tip dates) for calibration. For this analysis we utilized both strict and uncorrelated lognormal molecular clock models and constant-size coalescent and Bayesian Skyline demographic models, resulting in four possible model combinations. We compared the statistical fit of these models by estimating marginal likelihoods via path-sampling (<xref rid="R67" ref-type="bibr">Xie <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2011</xref>
). We report the rate estimates from the model with the highest marginal likelihood.</p>
<p>To validate our Bayesian rate estimates we conducted a date-randomization test, which consists of repeating the analysis while assigning the sampling times randomly to the sequences (<xref rid="R22" ref-type="bibr">Firth <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2010</xref>
). In all cases we used the best-fit combination of demographic and clock model, described above. We conducted ten randomization replicates per data set to generate an expectation of the rate estimates in the absence of temporal structure, which appears to be sufficient to assess temporal structure in bacterial data (<xref rid="R48" ref-type="bibr">Murray <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2015</xref>
). Two criteria have been proposed to assess temporal structure. One method, known as CR1 (<xref rid="R19" ref-type="bibr">Duchêne <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2015b</xref>
), considers that data do not have temporal structure if the mean rate with the correct sampling times is contained within the 95 % highest posterior density (HPD) of that from any of the randomizations. CR2 is more conservative; the data do not have temporal structure if the HPD of the estimate with the correct sampling times overlaps with that from any of the randomizations. These criteria have different levels of type I and type II errors (<xref rid="R19" ref-type="bibr">Duchêne <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2015b</xref>
). Here, we considered the proportion of randomized replicates with HPDs that overlapped with those obtained using the correct sampling times, following CR2. We arbitrarily determined that data had ‘strong’ temporal structure if the proportion was 0, ‘moderate’ if it was between 0 and 0.5, and ‘low’ if it was less than 0.5. We verified that samples with the same sampling time did not form monophyletic groups in our ML trees. Such pattern can produce false positives in the date-randomization test (i.e. incorrectly suggesting that a data set has temporal structure) (<xref rid="R19" ref-type="bibr">Duchêne <italic>et al.</italic>

</sec>
<sec id="s3-4-4"><title>Regression analyses of the time-dependency of substitution rates.</title>
<p>A key element of our study was to determine whether the time-span of sampling was associated with the evolutionary rate estimate. To test for this pattern we conducted a least squares linear regression for the genome-wide rate as a function of sampling time. Importantly, only rate estimates with strong and moderate temporal structure were included in this analysis. We used a log<sub>10</sub>
transformation because our rate estimates span several orders of magnitude. A potential shortcoming of this analysis is that the data do not necessarily represent independent samples because some correspond to closely related lineages. This can be addressed by using phylogenetic independent contrasts, or phylogenetic generalized least squares. However, these methods require a phylogenetic tree of the evolutionary relationships of all data points that cannot be estimated for our data because the sites in different SNP alignments are not necessarily homologous. Instead, we used an approach in which the regression is conducted using a single randomly chosen data point from each species. We repeated this procedure 1000 times and verified that the range of slope estimates with random subsamples did not include zero, and we report the mean value and the corresponding confidence interval. For our regression of the rate as a function of sampling time we used a test described previously (<xref rid="R17" ref-type="bibr">Duchêne <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2014</xref>
) to verify that the slope estimate was not a statistical artefact that sometimes occurs when fitting a regression for a ratio as a function of its denominator.</p>
<p>The linear regression method, however, does not provide a realistic description of time-dependency, which has been suggested to follow a decay curve (<xref rid="R28" ref-type="bibr">Ho <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2011</xref>
; <xref rid="R53" ref-type="bibr">Penny, 2005</xref>

=<italic>a</italic>
/<italic>T<sup>b</sup>
</italic>
, where <italic>r</italic>
and <italic>T</italic>
correspond to the rate estimate and sampling time on log<sub>10</sub>
scale, respectively, and parameters <italic>a</italic>
and <italic>b</italic>
control the asymptote and rate of decay in the function. This parameterization is similar to that proposed by <xref rid="R51" ref-type="bibr">O’Fallon (2010)</xref>

and <italic>b</italic>
were optimized using the algorithm of <xref rid="R49" ref-type="bibr">Nelder & Mead (1965</xref>

<p>Our comparison of molecular clock models included the strict clock, which assumes that the rate of evolution is constant across lineages, and the uncorrelated lognormal relaxed clock that treats the rate across lineages as a random variable. Most bacterial data sets favoured a relaxed molecular clock, such that there is marked rate variation among lineages (Figs S2 and S3). The date-randomization test suggested that 28 data sets had strong to moderate temporal signal (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Figs 2</xref>
and S2) (defined as ≤5 randomizations with an HPD overlapping with the HPDs estimated with the correct tip-dates). Only one (<italic>M. leprae)</italic>
of the 15 bacterial species (excluding <italic>N. meningitidis</italic>

However, five of eight species represented by two or more data sets displayed a mix of both weak signal and strong to moderate temporal signal (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F2">Fig. 2</xref>

<p>We have performed the largest comparative and systematic study of evolutionary rates in bacteria to date, providing an important resource for future studies of bacterial evolution. This analysis revealed an approximately two order of magnitude range of evolutionary rates for those bacterial data sets in which there was sufficient temporal structure for rate estimation. For the most rapidly evolving bacteria analysed here, such as <italic>E. faecium</italic>

, we estimated genome-wide rates between 10<sup>−5</sup>
and 10<sup>−6</sup>

. Not only are these rates within the range of those previously estimated for rapidly evolving bacteria (<xref rid="R33" ref-type="bibr">Holt <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2012</xref>
; <xref rid="R65" ref-type="bibr">Ward <italic>et al.</italic>

) but, more strikingly, they are also similar to those of slowly evolving DNA viruses (<xref rid="R17" ref-type="bibr">Duchêne <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2014</xref>
; <xref rid="R22" ref-type="bibr">Firth <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2010</xref>
). However, even our highest rate estimates are lower than some reported previously, such as those for <italic>Helicobacter pylori</italic>
(<xref rid="R38" ref-type="bibr">Kennemann <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2011</xref>
) and <italic>N. gonorrhoeae</italic>
(<xref rid="R54" ref-type="bibr">Pérez-Losada <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2007</xref>
), at ~10<sup>−5</sup>
and 10<sup>−4</sup>
substitutions per site year<sup>−1</sup>
, respectively. As these species also experience high rates of recombination (<xref rid="R41" ref-type="bibr">Maixner <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2016</xref>
; <xref rid="R68" ref-type="bibr">Yahara <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2016</xref>
), which can disrupt temporal signal, we suggest that these unusually high estimates be treated with caution until they are verified. For example, our <italic>N. meningitidis</italic>
data set exhibited extensive recombination, precluding standard phylogenetic analyses.</p>
<p>The lowest rate estimates obtained here, at ~10<sup>−8</sup>
substitutions per site year<sup>−1</sup>
, were also comparable to previous studies of slowly evolving bacteria, notably <italic>M. tuberculosis</italic>
(<xref rid="R37" ref-type="bibr">Kay <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2015</xref>
). Importantly, however, even though they were relatively low, these rates were sufficiently rapid to be accurately estimated using genomic-scale data. In contrast, rate estimates lower than about 1.5×10<sup>−8</sup>
substitutions per site year<sup>−1</sup>
could not be validated using our methods and hence may require data sampled over far longer time periods. However, it was also noteworthy that the <italic>M. leprae</italic>
and one of the <italic>Y. pestis</italic>
data sets did not have sufficient temporal structure for rate estimation despite the availability of ancient DNA. Interestingly, a recent analysis of Bronze Age strains of <italic>Y. pestis</italic>
is consistent with a much higher substitution rate in this bacterium, at ~10<sup>−7</sup>
substitutions per site year<sup>−1</sup>
(<xref rid="R56" ref-type="bibr">Rasmussen <italic>et al.</italic>

, 2013</xref>
; <xref rid="R47" ref-type="bibr">Morelli <italic>et al.</italic>

). Why these data sets differ so fundamentally in estimated substitution rate is clearly an important area for future study.</p>
<p>Nearly all bacterial species investigated here displayed genome evolution that was measurable over a period of 10–100 years. Data sets with sampling times spanning less than 10 years were largely unreliable. Importantly, for several species the strength of temporal signal varied substantially between data sets, and a lack of temporal signal in one data set could not be taken as a general indication of overall lack of signal for the species.</p>
<p>Notably, our analysis reveals that evolutionary rates in bacteria display a negative relationship with sampling time, such that their rates can be considered time-dependent (<xref rid="R28" ref-type="bibr">Ho <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2011</xref>
). This observation is of particular importance in the context of the analysis of genome sequences taken from individual disease outbreaks or transmission chains (<xref rid="R15" ref-type="bibr">Didelot <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2012</xref>
), as the evolutionary rates measured over these very short time-scales will probably contain deleterious mutations yet to be purged by purifying selection and substitutional saturation is increasingly apparent over time. As such, these estimates are expected to be much higher than those for samples obtained over longer time-scales. For example, based on our data (<xref ref-type="fig" rid="F4">Fig. 4</xref>
), we would predict the evolutionary rate estimated for a given bacterial species or clade over a sampling frame of 10 years to be more than an order of magnitude higher than that estimated for the same bacteria sampled over a period of 100 years. Conversely, the longer-term (and lower) evolutionary rates of the type inferred here would tend to over-estimate the time-scale of bacterial transmission when applied to outbreak data. The relationship between evolutionary rate and sampling time can be used to assess the extent to which extrapolating rates of evolution over different time-scales will lead to a bias in estimates of divergence times. To this end, future studies should compare bacterial data sets of the same species across different sampling time-frames to more precisely determine the nature of the time-dependent curve.</p>
<p>Strikingly, in some cases the time-dependent pattern appears to hold within closely related bacterial lineages, such as our <italic>A. baumanii</italic>
and <italic>Salmonella enterica</italic>
Paratyphi A data sets. However, it is notable that both reliable rate estimates for <italic>M. tuberculosis</italic>
, estimated over sampling frames of 15 and 895 years, were nearly identical. <italic>M. tuberculosis</italic>
are notoriously slow growing bacteria whose generation time is orders of magnitude slower than the other bacteria analysed here. It is likely that other factors such as genome size and DNA G+C (guanine and cytosine) content also contribute to rate variation between bacteria (<xref rid="R57" ref-type="bibr">Rocha <italic>et al.</italic>
, 2006</xref>
). Given the time dependency of rate estimates we observed, we suggest future studies of bacterial evolutionary dynamics would be best addressed by comparing multiple independent replicate sample sets for each species, collected over matched time-spans. Overall, our analyses show that genome evolution can now be reliably measured in bacteria and establish a genomic framework for understanding long-term evolutionary dynamics in bacteria.</p>
