Markov models for accumulating mutations

2009-06-05

Abstract excerpt

We introduce and analyze a waiting time model for the accumulation of genetic changes. The continuous-time conjunctive Bayesian network is defined by a partially ordered set of mutations and by the rate of fixation of each mutation. The partial order encodes constraints on the order in which mutations can fixate in the population, shedding light on the mutational pathways underlying the evolutionary process. We st...
