The Branching Process: A General Conceptual Framework for Addressing Current Ecological and Evolutionary Questions [PDF]
LifeClassical branching-process theory, developed by Galton and Watson in the nineteenth century and later refined by Fisher and Haldane, provides the formal framework for quantifying the fate of new mutants, new viral and bacterial pathogens, new ...

SimuBP: A Simulator of Population Dynamics and Mutations Based on Branching Processes
Axioms, 2023 Originating from the Luria–Delbrück experiment in 1943, fluctuation analysis (FA) has been well developed to demonstrate random mutagenesis in microbial cell populations and infer mutation rates.

Cell‐Laden Multiple‐Step and Reversible 4D Hydrogel Actuators to Mimic Dynamic Tissue Morphogenesis
Advanced Science, 2021 Shape‐morphing hydrogels bear promising prospects as soft actuators and for robotics. However, they are mostly restricted to applications in the abiotic domain due to the harsh physicochemical conditions typically necessary to induce shape morphing. Here,

Combinatorial Conversion and Moment Bisimulation for Stochastic Rewriting Systems [PDF]
Logical Methods in Computer Science, 2020 We develop a novel method to analyze the dynamics of stochastic rewriting systems evolving over finitary adhesive, extensive categories. Our formalism is based on the so-called rule algebra framework and exhibits an intimate relationship between the ...

Tuning heterologous glucan biosynthesis in yeast to understand and exploit plant starch diversity
BMC Biology, 2022 Background Starch, a vital plant-derived polysaccharide comprised of branched glucans, is essential in nutrition and many industrial applications. Starch is often modified post-extraction to alter its structure and enhance its functionality.

Age-dependent branching processes and applications to the Luria-Delbruck experiment
Electronic Journal of Differential Equations, 2021 Microbial populations adapt to their environment by acquiring advantageous mutations, but in the early twentieth century, questions about how these organisms acquire mutations arose. The experiment of Salvador Luria and Max Delbrück that won them a Nobel Prize in 1969 confirmed that mutations don't occur out of necessity, but instead can occur
