In vitro evolution goes deep.
A pproximately 20 years ago when one of the authors of this commentary was a postdoctoral fellow in Bob Sauer’s laboratory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, an extremely energetic individual (the author in question was not one of these) could run three sequencing gels in one day, and thus potentially obtain 72 sequence reads of a few hundred bases each (in practice, unfortunately, one n...
متن کاملDNA-Like Genomes for Evolution in silico
We explore the advantages of DNA-like genomes for evolutionary computation in silico. Coupled with simulations of chemical reactions, these genomes offer greater efficiency, reliability, scalability, new computationally feasible fitness functions, and more dynamic evolutionary algorithms. The prototype application is the decision problem of HPP (the Hamiltonian Path Problem.) Other applications...
متن کاملIn silico evolution of chemotaxis
Bacteria are able to sense their environment and move towards sources of attractant and away from sources of repellent through the process of chemotaxis. The best understood model for chemotaxis comes from Escherichia coli, where the biochemical pathways have been extensively studied. In E. coli, the bacterium switches between swimming and tumbling based on the changes in the local concentratio...
متن کاملBacterial Evolution: What Goes Around Comes Around
Over 3 billion years ago, cellular life began anaerobically. A new study now establishes a key link between oxidative stress and proliferation of wall-less bacteria known as L-forms. The finding provides insights into both the origin of life and the potential threat posed by pathogenic L-forms.
متن کاملIn silico evolution of transferable genetic elements
Plasmids are an integral and essential factor in microbial biology and evolution, with broad implications ranging from antibiotic resistance to research tools. Much has been done to describe, quantify, and modify properties of transferable plasmids, including the extensive theoretical work using simulations and models. However, a wide gap between theory and experiments still remains, especially...
