Improving TSP Solutions Using GA with a New Hybrid Mutation Based on Knowledge and Randomness [PDF]
Genetic algorithm (GA) is an efficient tool for solving optimization problems by evolving solutions, as it mimics the Darwinian theory of natural evolution. The mutation operator is one of the key success factors in GA, as it is considered the exploration operator of GA.

Fixation of mutators in asexual populations: the role of genetic drift and epistasis [PDF]
We study the evolutionary dynamics of an asexual population of nonmutators and mutators on a class of epistatic fitness landscapes. We consider the situation in which all mutations are deleterious and mutators are produced from nonmutators continually at a constant rate.

Maximum likelihood (ML) estimators for scaled mutation parameters with a strand symmetric mutation model in equilibrium [PDF]
With the multiallelic parent-independent mutation-drift model, the equilibrium proportions of alleles are known to be Dirichlet distributed. A special case is the biallelic model, in which the proportions are beta distributed. A sample taken from these models is then Dirichlet-multinomially or beta-binomially distributed, respectively.

Objective. Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (SEDT) is a rare hereditary bone disease characterized by spinal and epiphyseal anomalies. We identified the disease by gene sequencing in a Chinese pedigree with SEDT. Methods.

The age incidence of any cancer can be explained by a one-mutation model [PDF]
We propose a one mutation model for cancer with a mutation rate that increases with time. Under rather general hypotheses the number of mutations is necessarily a (non homogeneous) Poisson process with the prescribed mutation rate. We show that the cumulative probability of cancer up to time $t$ is, up to a multiplicative constant, an antiderivative of
