Controlling the speed and trajectory of evolution with counterdiabatic driving

GWA Constable, AJ McKane - Physical Review E, 2017 - APS
The relationship between the M-species stochastic Lotka-Volterra competition (SLVC) model
and the M-allele Moran model of population genetics is explored via timescale separation …

Optimal evolutionary control for artificial selection on molecular phenotypes

A Nourmohammad, C Eksin - Physical Review X, 2021 - APS
Controlling an evolving population is an important task in modern molecular genetics,
including directed evolution for improving the activity of molecules and enzymes, in breeding …

Systems with two symmetric absorbing states: relating the microscopic dynamics with the macroscopic behavior

F Vazquez, C López - Physical Review E—Statistical, Nonlinear, and Soft …, 2008 - APS
We propose a general approach to study spin models with two symmetric absorbing states.
Starting from the microscopic dynamics on a square lattice, we derive a Langevin equation …

Neutral evolution: a null model for language dynamics

RA Blythe - Advances in complex systems, 2012 - World Scientific
We review the task of aligning simple models for language dynamics with relevant empirical
data, motivated by the fact that this is rarely attempted in practice despite an abundance of …

Influence of selection on the probability of fixation at a locus with multiple alleles

ADJ Overall, D Waxman - BMC genomics, 2024 - Springer
Background Genes exist in a population in a variety of forms (alleles), as a consequence of
multiple mutation events that have arisen over the course of time. In this work we consider a …
