Fixation probability for lytic viruses: the attachment-lysis model.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2008

Patwa Z, Wahl L M

Abstract excerpt

The fixation probability of a beneficial mutation is extremely sensitive to assumptions regarding the organism's life history. In this article we compute the fixation probability using a life-history model for lytic viruses, a key model organism in experimental studies of adaptation. The model assumes that attachment times are exponentially distributed, but that the lysis time, the time between attachment and...
