Emergent evolutionary forces in spatial models of microbial growth in the human gut microbiota
2021-07-16
Abstract excerpt
The genetic composition of the gut microbiota is constantly reshaped by ecological and evolutionary forces. These strain-level dynamics can be challenging to understand because they emerge from complex spatial growth processes that take place within a host. Here we introduce a general population genetic framework to predict how stochastic evolutionary forces emerge from simple models of microbial growth in spatial...
