Stronger selection can slow down evolution driven by recombination on a smooth fitness landscape
Stronger selection implies faster evolution-that is, the greater the force, the faster the change. This apparently self-evident proposition, however, is derived under the assumption that genetic variation within a population is primarily supplied by mutation (i.e. mutation-driven evolution). Here, we show that this proposition does not actually hold for recombination-driven evolution, i.e. evol...
متن کاملEvolution of Recombination on an HIV-1 Derived Fitness Landscape
The maintenance of recombination is among the most important unsolved problems of evolutionary biology. The Hill-Robertson effect, which states that the interaction between genetic drift and selection generates unfavorable linkage dise-quilibria (hence favoring recombination), offers one of the most promising hypotheses to solve this problem. In particular,it has been argued that th...
متن کاملEvolution on a smooth landscape
We study in detail a recently proposed simple discrete model for evolution on smooth landscapes. An asymptotic solution of this model for long times is constructed. We find that the dynamics of the population is governed by correlation functions that although being formally down by powers of N (the population size), nonetheless control the evolution process after a very short transient. The lon...
متن کاملCan Raising Vitamin D Status Slow Down Covid-19 Waves?
Several mitigation and suppression policies, such as social distancing, city lockdowns, remote working, testing, providing personal protective equipment and health care resource availability have been implemented by the governments in response to Covid-19 pandemic. Until now (October 23, 2020), over 1.14 million deaths in the world including 31,650 just in Iran have been officially attributed t...
متن کاملQuasispecies evolution on a fitness landscape with a fluctuating peak.
A quasispecies evolving on a fitness landscape with a single peak of fluctuating height is studied. In the approximation that back mutations can be ignored, the rate equations can be solved analytically. It is shown that the error threshold on this class of dynamic landscapes is defined by the time average of the selection pressure. In the case of a periodically fluctuating fitness peak, we als...
