Active information requirements for fixation on the Wright-Fisher model of population genetics [PDF]
BIO-Complexity 2020(4):1-6, 2021 In the context of population genetics, active information can be extended to measure the change of information of a given event (e.g., fixation of an allele) from a neutral model in which only genetic drift is taken into account to a non-neutral model that includes other sources of frequency variation (e.g., selection and mutation).

Comparing newly developed SNP barcode panels with microsatellites to explore population genetics of malaria parasites in the Peruvian Amazon [PDF]
Frontiers in GeneticsIntroductionMalaria molecular surveillance (MMS) can provide insights into transmission dynamics, guiding national control programs. We previously designed AmpliSeq assays for MMS, which include different traits of interest (resistance markers and pfhrp2/

Invasion and effective size of graph-structured populations. [PDF]
PLoS Computational Biology, 2018 Population structure can strongly affect evolutionary dynamics. The most general way to describe population structures are graphs. An important observable on evolutionary graphs is the probability that a novel mutation spreads through the entire ...

Fixation probabilities in network structured meta-populations
Scientific Reports, 2021 The effect of population structure on evolutionary dynamics is a long-lasting research topic in evolutionary ecology and population genetics. Evolutionary graph theory is a popular approach to this problem, where individuals are located on the nodes of a

Explaining spatial heterogeneity in population dynamics and genetics from spatial variation in resources for a large herbivore. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 Fine-scale spatial variation in genetic relatedness and inbreeding occur across continuous distributions of several populations of vertebrates; however, the basis of observed variation is often left untested.

Limiting Genotype Frequencies of Y-Linked Genes with a Mutant Allele in a Two-Sex Population
Mathematics, 2021 A two-type two-sex branching process is considered to model the evolution of the number of carriers of an allele and its mutations of a Y-linked gene. The limiting growth rates of the different types of couples and males (depending on the allele, mutated

Evolutionary dynamics in fluctuating environment
Physical Review Research, 2020 Temporal environmental variations are ubiquitous in nature, yet most of the theoretical works in population genetics and evolution assume fixed environment.

Understanding evolutionary and ecological dynamics using a continuum limit
Ecology and Evolution, 2021 Continuum limits in the form of stochastic differential equations are typically used in theoretical population genetics to account for genetic drift or more generally, inherent randomness of the model. In evolutionary game theory and theoretical ecology,
