Collective Fluctuations in the Dynamics of Adaptation and Other Traveling Waves.

Genetics - 1 Mar 2016

Hallatschek Oskar, Geyrhofer Lukas

Abstract excerpt

The dynamics of adaptation are difficult to predict because it is highly stochastic even in large populations. The uncertainty emerges from random genetic drift arising in a vanguard of particularly fit individuals of the population. Several approaches have been developed to analyze the crucial role of genetic drift on the expected dynamics of adaptation, including the mean fitness of the entire population, or...
