Active information requirements for fixation on the Wright-Fisher model of population genetics [PDF]
BIO-Complexity, 2020 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 ...

Fixation in Conditional Branching Process Models in Population Genetics [PDF]
Journal of Applied Probability, 2007 An alternative version of the necessary and sufficient condition for almost sure fixation in the conditional branching process model is derived. This formulation provides an insight into why the examples considered in Buckley and Seneta (1983) all have the same condition for fixation.

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

Interference of Competing Beneficial Mutations on Recombining Chromosomes [PDF]
BiologyFinding signatures of selective sweeps in genomes is a major goal of current population genomics, as it allows estimating the rate of beneficial mutations going to fixation and identifying the genes involved in selection.

Hybrid fitness effects modify fixation probabilities of introgressed alleles
G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2022 Hybridization is a common occurrence in natural populations, and introgression is a major source of genetic variation. Despite the evolutionary importance of adaptive introgression, classical population genetics theory does not take into account hybrid ...

Nature CommunicationsHow the spatial arrangement of a population shapes its evolutionary dynamics has been of long-standing interest in population genetics. Most previous studies assume a small number of demes or symmetrical structures that, most often, act as well-mixed ...

Spatial population genetics with fluid flow [PDF]
Reports on progress in physics. Physical Society, 2021 The growth and evolution of microbial populations is often subjected to advection by fluid flows in spatially extended environments, with immediate consequences for questions of spatial population genetics in marine ecology, planktonic diversity and ...

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 ...
