Molecular clock on a neutral network.
The number of fixed mutations accumulated in an evolving population often displays a variance that is significantly larger than the mean (the overdispersed molecular clock). By examining a generic evolutionary process on a neutral network of high-fitness genotypes, we establish a formalism for computing all cumulants of the full probability distribution of accumulated mutations in terms of grap...
متن کاملEvolution on neutral networks accelerates the ticking rate of the molecular clock.
Large sets of genotypes give rise to the same phenotype, because phenotypic expression is highly redundant. Accordingly, a population can accept mutations without altering its phenotype, as long as the genotype mutates into another one on the same set. By linking every pair of genotypes that are mutually accessible through mutation, genotypes organize themselves into neutral networks (NNs). The...
متن کاملOn the overdispersed molecular clock.
Rates of molecular evolution at some loci are more irregular than described by simple Poisson processes. Three situations under which molecular evolution would not follow simple Poisson processes are reevaluated from the viewpoint of the neutrality hypothesis: concomitant or multiple substitutions in a gene, fluctuating substitution rates in time caused by coupled effects of deleterious mutatio...
متن کاملMolecular Clock of Neutral Mutations in a Fitness-Increasing Evolutionary Process
The molecular clock of neutral mutations, which represents linear mutation fixation over generations, is theoretically explained by genetic drift in fitness-steady evolution or hitchhiking in adaptive evolution. The present study is the first experimental demonstration for the molecular clock of neutral mutations in a fitness-increasing evolutionary process. The dynamics of genome mutation fixa...
متن کاملOptical Clock Transition in Neutral Ytterbium
0031-9007= We report the direct excitation of the highly forbidden 6s2 S0 $ 6s6p P0 optical transition in two odd isotopes of neutral ytterbium. As the excitation laser frequency is scanned, absorption is detected by monitoring the depletion from an atomic cloud at 70 K in a magneto-optical trap. The measured frequency in 171Yb (F 1=2) is 518 295 836 591:6 4:4 kHz. The measured frequency in 173...
