Evolutionary dynamics, epistatic interactions, and biological information.

Journal of theoretical biology - 21 Oct 2010

Abstract excerpt

We investigate a definition of biological information that connects population genetics with the tools of information theory by focusing on the distribution of genotypes found in a population. Previous research has treated loci as non-interacting by making specific approximations in the calculation of information-theoretic quantities. We expand earlier mathematical forms to include epistasis, or interactions...
