Genetic Polymorphism in Evolving Population [PDF]
Physical Review E, 1998 We present a model for evolving population which maintains genetic polymorphism. By introducing random mutation in the model population at a constant rate, we observe that the population does not become extinct but survives, keeping diversity in the gene pool under abrupt environmental changes.

Polymorphism of Genetic Ambigrams [PDF]
Virus Evolution, 2021 AbstractDouble synonyms in the genetic code can be used as a tool to test competing hypotheses regarding ambigrammatic narnavirus genomes. Applying the analysis to recent observations ofCulex narnavirus 1andZhejiang mosquito virus 3ambigrammatic viruses indicates that the open reading frame on the complementary strand of the segment coding for RNA ...
