Rate, spectrum, and evolutionary dynamics of spontaneous epimutations [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015 Significance Changes in the methylation status of cytosine nucleotides are a source of heritable epigenetic and phenotypic diversity in plants. Here we derive robust estimates of the rate at which cytosine methylation is spontaneously gained (forward epimutation) or lost (backward epimutation) in the genome of the model plant

Evolutionary Game Theory Perspective on Dynamic Spectrum Access Etiquette
IEEE Access, 2018 In this paper, we describe the long-term evolution of societies of secondary users in dynamic spectrum access networks. Such an understanding is important to help us anticipate future trends in the organization of large-scale distributed networked ...

Cooperative Spectrum Sensing Algorithm Based on Evolutionary Game Theory
IEEE Access, 2022 To address the inert behavior of cognitive users who do not sense to increase their throughput in the collaborative spectrum sensing process, a spectrum sensing model with a contribution reward and punishment mechanism is proposed to increase the ...

Relating the disease mutation spectrum to the evolution of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Cystic fibrosis (CF) is the most common genetic disease among Caucasians, and accordingly the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein has perhaps the best characterized disease mutation spectrum with more than 1,500 causative ...

Bias and evolution of the mutationally accessible phenotypic space in a developmental system. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2010 Genetic and developmental architecture may bias the mutationally available phenotypic spectrum. Although such asymmetries in the introduction of variation may influence possible evolutionary trajectories, we lack quantitative characterization of biases ...

Cryo-EM structure of infectious bronchitis coronavirus spike protein reveals structural and functional evolution of coronavirus spike proteins. [PDF]
PLoS Pathogens, 2018 As cell-invading molecular machinery, coronavirus spike proteins pose an evolutionary conundrum due to their high divergence. In this study, we determined the cryo-EM structure of avian infectious bronchitis coronavirus (IBV) spike protein from the γ ...

An evolutionary spectrum approach to incorporate large‐scale geographical descriptors on global processes [PDF]
, 2015 We introduce a non‐stationary spatiotemporal model for gridded data on the sphere. The model specifies a computationally convenient covariance structure that depends on heterogeneous geography. Widely used statistical models on a spherical domain are non‐

A Relay Race on the Evolutionary Adaptation Spectrum [PDF]
Cell, 2015 Adaptation is the process in which organisms improve their fitness by changing their phenotype using genetic or non-genetic mechanisms. The adaptation toolbox consists of varied molecular and genetic means that we posit span an almost continuous "adaptation spectrum." Different adaptations are characterized by the time needed for organisms to attain ...

Notes on spectrum and exponential decay in nonautonomous evolutionary equations
Electronic Journal of Qualitative Theory of Differential Equations, 2016 We first determine the dichotomy (Sacker-Sell) spectrum for certain nonautonomous linear evolutionary equations induced by a class of parabolic PDE systems.
