SLiM: simulating evolution with selection and linkage.
SLiM is an efficient forward population genetic simulation designed for studying the effects of linkage and selection on a chromosome-wide scale. The program can incorporate complex scenarios of demography and population substructure, various models for selection and dominance of new mutations, arbitrary gene structure, and user-defined recombination maps.
متن کاملSimulating Pedestrian Route Selection with Imperfect Knowledge
Heuristic evaluation of possible route choices allows pedestrians to make decisions in a timely and efficient manner. The heuristic function used to evaluate the route and the subsequent route selection has a large impact on the egress time of the pedestrian. We implement several common heuristic functions using the PLEASE simulation model and allow these heuristics to be combined using weighte...
متن کاملComponents of Selection in the Evolution of the Influenza Virus: Linkage Effects Beat Inherent Selection
The influenza virus is an important human pathogen, with a rapid rate of evolution in the human population. The rate of homologous recombination within genes of influenza is essentially zero. As such, where two alleles within the same gene are in linkage disequilibrium, interference between alleles will occur, whereby selection acting upon one allele has an influence upon the frequency of the o...
متن کاملGenetic linkage and natural selection.
The prevalence of recombination in eukaryotes poses one of the most puzzling questions in biology. The most compelling general explanation is that recombination facilitates selection by breaking down the negative associations generated by random drift (i.e. Hill-Robertson interference, HRI). I classify the effects of HRI owing to: deleterious mutation, balancing selection and selective sweeps o...
متن کاملSexual selection and sex linkage.
Some animal groups, such as birds, seem prone to extreme forms of sexual selection. One contributing factor may be sex linkage of genes affecting male displays and female preferences. Here we show that sex linkage can have substantial effects on the genetic correlation between these traits and consequently for Fisher's runaway and the good-genes mechanisms of sexual selection. Under some kinds ...
