Mutant Evolution in Spatially Structured and Fragmented Expanding Populations.

Genetics - 1 Sept 2020

Wodarz Dominik, Komarova Natalia L

Abstract excerpt

Mutant evolution in spatially structured systems is important for a range of biological systems, but aspects of it still require further elucidation. Adding to previous work, we provide a simple derivation of growth laws that characterize the number of mutants of different relative fitness in expanding populations in spatial models of different dimensionalities. These laws are universal and independent of...
