Deterministic and stochastic regimes of asexual evolution on rugged fitness landscapes.

Genetics - 1 Mar 2007

Jain Kavita, Krug Joachim

Abstract excerpt

We study the adaptation dynamics of an initially maladapted asexual population with genotypes represented by binary sequences of length L. The population evolves in a maximally rugged fitness landscape with a large number of local optima. We find that whether the evolutionary trajectory is deterministic or stochastic depends on the effective mutational distance d(eff) up to which the population can spread in...
