Abstract excerpt
We use first principles of population genetics to model the evolution of proteins under persistent positive selection (PPS). PPS may occur when organisms are subjected to persistent environmental change, during adaptive radiations, or in host-pathogen interactions. Our mutation-selection model indicates protein evolution under PPS is an irreversible Markov process, and thus proteins under PPS show a strongly...
