Technologically modified genes in natural populations [PDF]
, 1993 Current theories of evolutionary and ecological genetics cannot be used for general statements on risk assessment of gene technology. In a simplifying model, the genes which are transferred from artificial populations are treated like mutations in the ...

Population genetics in compressible flows. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2011 We study competition between two biological species advected by a compressible velocity field. Individuals are treated as discrete Lagrangian particles that reproduce or die in a density-dependent fashion.

Genotype by random environmental interactions gives an advantage to non-favored minor alleles
Scientific Reports, 2017 Fixation probability, the probability that the frequency of a newly arising mutation in a population will eventually reach unity, is a fundamental quantity in evolutionary genetics.

Simulating population genetics of pathogen vectors in changing landscapes: guidelines and application with Triatoma brasiliensis. [PDF]
PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2014 BACKGROUND:Understanding the mechanisms that influence the population dynamics and spatial genetic structure of the vectors of pathogens infecting humans is a central issue in tropical epidemiology.

Fixation properties of subdivided populations with balancing selection [PDF]
Phys. Rev. E 91, 032130 (2015), 2014 In subdivided populations, migration acts together with selection and genetic drift and determines their evolution. Building up on a recently proposed method, which hinges on the emergence of a time scale separation between local and global dynamics, we study the fixation properties of subdivided populations in the presence of balancing selection.

Fixation and Polarization in a Three-Species Opinion Dynamics Model [PDF]
, 2011 Motivated by the dynamics of cultural change and diversity, we generalize the three-species constrained voter model on a complete graph introduced in [J. Phys. A 37, 8479 (2004)].

Fixation of a Deleterious Allele under Mutation Pressure and Finite Selection Intensity [PDF]
, 2011 The mean fixation time of a deleterious mutant allele is studied beyond the diffusion approximation. As in Kimura's classical work [M. Kimura, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U.S.A.

Aggressive Behavior, Volume 49, Issue 1, Page 5-14, January 2023., 2023 Abstract This study uses longitudinal data from the UK Millennium Cohort Study (N = 13,277) to examine the childhood and early adolescence factors that predict weapon involvement in middle adolescence, which in this study is exemplified by having carried or used a weapon.

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020 Background Individual identification is one of the most important tasks in the field of forensic genetics. Insertion/Deletion (InDel) polymorphism marker has been a promising marker for individual identification. However, a part of InDel loci in commonly

Joint Prediction of the Effective Population Size and the Rate of Fixation of Deleterious Mutations
Genetics, 2016 Mutation, genetic drift, and selection are considered the main factors shaping genetic variation in nature. There is a lack, however, of general predictions accounting for the mutual interrelation between these factors.
