The nk model and population genetics.
The nk model of fitness interactions is examined. This model has been used by previous authors to investigate the effects of fitness epistasis on substitution dynamics in molecular evolution, and to make broader claims about the importance of epistasis. To examine these claims, an infinite-allele approximation is introduced. In this limit, it is shown that the nk model is, at an appropriate lev...
متن کاملModel testing in population genetics
• Do different types of mutation show different patterns of variation? – Phylogenetic approaches – Nonparametric McDonald-Kreitman test • How good a description of patterns of genetic variation is the neutral coalescent? – Frequentist tests (e.g. Tajima D) • Are deviations from neutral patterns indicative of a particular evolutionary force? – Natural selection – Historical demographic events – ...
متن کاملPopulation genetics approach to the quasispecies model.
A population genetics formulation of Eigen’s molecular quasispecies model [Naturwissenchaften 58, 465 (1971)] is proposed and several simple replication landscapes are investigated analytically. Our results show a remarkable similarity to those obtained with the original kinetics formulation of the quasispecies model. However, due to the simplicity of our approach, the space of the parameters t...
متن کاملPneumoviruses: Molecular Genetics and Reverse Genetics
Pneumoviruses are responsible for significant respiratory disease in their hosts and represent a major problemfor human and animal health. Pneumoviruses are members of the family Paramyxoviridae, subfamilyPneumovirinae and the virus particles consist of a negative-sense, nonsegmented RNA genome within a helical nucleocapsid structure enveloped in a lipid membrane derived from the ho...
متن کاملEvolutionary Genetics Theoretical Population Genetics
Evolutionary genetics studies the patterns and mechanisms of genetic changes underlying evolutionary change. Because biological diversity at all levels (including population, species, and ecosystem diversity) has a genetic basis and is a result of evolution, evolutionary genetics provides insight into the ultimate mechanisms creating biodiversity. Evolutionary genetics utilizes empirical tools ...
